Martin Keown says Mikel Arteta would have been slammed for Roberto De Zerbi antics

Martin Keown has hit out at Roberto De Zerbi's touchline antics during Brighton's 3-0 win over Arsenal before claiming that Mikel Arteta would have received far greater scrutiny had he celebrated in the same manner.

The Seagulls kept their European dream alive in style at the Emirates on Sunday with a statement victory that also ended the hosts' title hopes. Julio Encisco broke the deadlock early in the second half before Deniz Undav doubled Brighton's lead late in the match. Pervis Estupinan grabbed a third goal in the dying embers of additional time.

De Zerbi has won plenty of plaudits since succeeding Graham Potter at the Amex back in September. The Italian has quickly become renowned for his passion on the sidelines and he did his best Jose Mourinho impression on Sunday as Brighton surged to victory.
