Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville questioned an 'extremely strange' moment during Arsenal's game against Southampton on Friday night.
The Gunners went 2-0 down inside a quarter-of-an-hour at the Emirates Stadium in a crucial game during the Premier League title race. Carlos Alcaraz capitalised on a mistake from Aaron Ramsdale to give the top flight's bottom side the lead in north London and former Arsenal star Theo Walcott doubled his side's advantage after 14 minutes.
Southampton pounced on a loose ball and presented Walcott with a simple finish and after he scored, Oleksandr Zinchenko called a huddle with his players. Martin Odegaard approached Zinchenko while he was calling his team-mates together to seemingly call it off.

Neville could not understand why Zinchenko was trying to get his fellow Arsenal players in a huddle and called out their defenders for the role in both goals. "He'd have been better off getting around his centre-backs than calling a huddle," Neville said on commentary for Sky Sports.
"This is extremely strange, extremely strange. "Odegaard is having a word with him saying 'what's going on', it's all a little odd.
"If you wanted signs of nerves and wobble, signs of tension you are seeing it right in front of your eyes."
