Martin Tyler forced to apologise as Liverpool fan swears live on Sky Sports during Arsenal clash

Arsenal take on Liverpool in a huge Premier League clash this afternoon with the Gunners firmly in the hunt for the title. Manchester City closed the gap down to five points with their dominant win against Southampton on Saturday evening leaving Mikel Arteta's men with the simple task of winning.

Martinelli was then involved in a moment which caused Sky Sports' lead commentator Martin Tyler to apologise on air. A long punt forward entered touch with Martinelli placed near the side of the pitch before he was shoved closer to the home supporters by Ibrahima Konate.
