'It is a huge error, I'm not sure whether whether he actually see's him': Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is blasted by Alan Shearer for his mistake that led to Man City's opener - as Newcastle legend hails Kevin De Bruyne's 'world-class' finish

Alan Shearer has blasted Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu for his mistake that led to Manchester City's opener.

City took the lead after a defensive howler from the recalled Japanese player, 24, as he attempted to play a pass back to his goalkeeper.

The Belgian midfielder, 31, was on hand to guide home a perfect finish past a helpless Aaron Ramsdale.

The football pundit, 52, said: 'They have responded really well, firstly from conceding that goal in the way they did. Huge error, doesn't need anyone to tell him that but what about the finish.
