Arsenal legend, Ian Wright has criticized Raheem Sterling over his ‘unacceptable’ display in Arsenal’s Premier League 2-0 win against Leicester City on Saturday.
Two second-half goals from Mikel Merino gave Arsenal all three points against Leicester at the King Power Stadium.
The result leaves Arsenal four points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool in the table.
However, Wright was not happy with Sterling after he was caught offside on two occasions during the encounter despite being able to clearly see the Leicester’s defensive line.
Sterling was eventually replaced by Merino in the 69th minute.
“I think Nwaneri has been exceptional in that front three,” Wright told Premier League Productions during his half-time analysis.
“Raheem Sterling and Trossard… I think Trossard had a good chance, the kind of chance in a game with the forwards we’ve got you’ve got to do more with it, go to the basics in trying to get contact on it, he didn’t do that.
“That is unacceptable, that one there [from Sterling]. Unacceptable, he’s on the line, he can see the whole line, he’s got space, you pull your hair out as a manager.”
Arsenal’s next fixture is against West Ham United next weekend.
