Chris Sutton has defended his role in a controversial late equaliser Blackburn scored against Arsenal back in 1997, claiming it was not "s***housery".
On the 26-year anniversary of Blackburn's trip to Highbury during the 1996-97 Premier League season, a clip of the incident was reshared on social media prompting Sutton to respond. In the clip, Arsenal midfielder Stephen Hughes is seen going down with injured after a challenge from Tim Sherwood.
Patrick Vieira then puts the ball out of play so Hughes can receive treatment, with Ray Parlour coming on to replace him. Blackburn then immediately give the ball back to Arsenal from the throw-in, but Sutton decides to give chase and ultimately pressures Nigel Winterburn into conceding a corner.
