Martin Keown: 'Is Leno better than Petr Cech? I don’t think so'

Arsenal have been heavily criticised after a heavy 5-1 defeat at Anfield, with particularly scathing comments coming from one of their former players.

Martin Keown slammed the defenders in their poor efforts for some of Liverpool's goals, and he also questioned the quality of goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Speaking on BT Sport, he compared the signing of Leno to Liverpool's marquee signings such as Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk, and asked whether he was good enough to play in the team.

'Leno didn’t even make the German squad,' said Keown.
