And he was met by Gunners legends Keown and Patrick Vieira, along with Rio Ferdinand and Joleon Lescott.

Arteta began answering the pundits questions ahead of the crunch clash.

But Keown then left viewers squirming when he opened his question by referring to the Arsenal head coach as “boss”.

It was a comment that led to much mockery on social media.

One said: “Keown calling Arteta ‘boss’ has to be the cringiest moment of the season.. he’s 87 years older than him ffs.”

Another added: “Keown calling him ‘boss’?! Horrific. Someone please stop him.”

A third replied: “Martin Keown calling Arteta ‘boss’ .”

And a fourth responded: “Keown calling Legoman boss….cringe .”
