Comments made by Gary Neville during Sky Sports’ coverage of Arsenal’s game against Liverpool last week led to 576 complaints to Ofcom.

According to reports, the complaints received by the broadcasting regulator were prompted specifically by Neville’s criticism of the conduct of Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli, who pushed injured opponent Conor Bradley late in the game.
