Roy Keane's brutal Mikel Arteta verdict proven wrong 16 months after Tim Cahill Arsenal argument

Roy Keane's verdict on Mikel Arteta's Arsenal has been proven wrong, 16 months after his infamous debate with former Everton player Tim Cahill.

The Gunners have won five of their last six Premier League outings, sitting fourth in the table, three points clear of Tottenham Hotspur, who have also played an extra match in the league. Arteta 's side have begun to look the part in recent months, looking much more accomplished at both ends of the field since their switch to a 4-3-3 system that deploys Thomas Partey as the deepest midfielder.

The Spanish coach has proved a lot of doubters wrong, with Manchester United legend Keane being one of them. After the north London outfit secured a 1-0 win against United back in November 2019, the Irishman had a heated debate with Everton hero Cahill, who was full of praise for his former teammate.
