Gary Neville's criticism of Gabriel Martinelli's shove on the injured Conor Bradley during Arsenal's goalless draw with Liverpool led to a remarkable 576 complaints being made against the Sky Sports co-commentator with Ofcom.

It was towards the end of that clash at the Emirates Stadium when Martinelli tried to push Bradley off the pitch when he was down by the touchline, leading to widespread criticism as the 22-year-old full back was then stretchered away.

Martinelli later apologised, but only after Neville had described the incident as 'disgraceful' on air.
