Jakub Kiwior issues firm response to Roy Keane after brutal Arsenal criticism in Brighton defeat

Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior has responded to Roy Keane after the Manchester United legend criticised the 23-year-old following the 3-0 defeat against Brighton. The Poland international completed a £21million move to the Emirates Stadium during the January transfer window.

Kiwior has come into the starting XI in recent weeks, replacing Rob Holding with William Saliba still sidelined with a back injury. The Arsenal star came under criticism for staying down injured, clutching his foot in pain, after Evan Ferguson appeared to stamp on his boot in the build-up to Julio Enciso's goal.

Brighton played a dangerous cross right over Kiwior's head inside the six-yard box as he knelt down holding his foot, allowing the Seagulls' forward to head home from close range. Brighton scored another two goals through Deniz Undav and Pervis Estupinan with Aaron Ramsdale coming under fire from Keane and Gary Neville.
