Gary Neville CONVINCED Ben Godfrey intentionally stamped on Takehiro Tomiyasu's face in heated Arsenal clash... but claims it's NOT a red-card as Jamie Carragher admits Everton star is 'a lucky boy'

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher know all about 'leaving one on' rival attackers, and they exposed Ben Godfrey after he went in studs-up on Takehiro Tomiyasu's face.

A seething, tense Goodison Park crowd set the tone for a feisty clash with Arsenal on Monday, and Godfrey's challenge 28 minutes into the first-half was a symptom.

As Arsenal right-back Tomiyasu tripped on Allan's lunging tackle at the touchline, the ball deflected away and Godfrey planted his studs on the stricken Japanese star's chin. He eyes were elsewhere at the time, but the movement looked avoidable.
