Keown: Alexis and Ozil have let down Arsenal

Arsenal hero Martin Keown has hit out at Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez over their on-field behaviour.

Keown insists the duo's behaviour is the reason Arsenal missed out of the Champions League for the first time in Arsene Wenger's 21-year reign.

He declared: “It became about Ozil and Sanchez for too long in the season. I think their behaviour let Arsenal down in that period.

“Ozil wasn't available for large periods. Was he injured, wasn't he? Was it sickness was it injury? He didn't seem to be around when they needed him most.

“Sanchez then had an incident at the club. It felt like he threw his toys out of the cot for a little while. We don't really know exactly what happened.

“All of that was I think, as a result that these guys were maybe overindulged a little bit."
