Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville wants to see a rule change after an incident in the Carabao Cup final which led to Declan Rice being booed

Gary Neville demanded a rule change during the Carabao Cup final between Arsenal and Manchester City. The Gunners won a throw as half-time approached with Declan Rice heading over to take it, however he was booed for taking a hefty amount of time before restarting the game.

As he was lining up the throw, Neville said on Sky Sports: "Not because of Arsenal, this is happening up and down the country, but the amount of time being taken on set-pieces is too much."

Long throw-ins have become more common in the Premier League this season with many teams having centre-backs to take them which often sees the action paused for a considerable amount of time and Neville is clearly fed up by the time being eaten.

It is unclear exactly what could be implemented to stop delays to the restart though it has become clear that something does need to be done.

Though Arsenal have become set-piece specialists, they created several chances from open play in the first half against City.

James Trafford was forced into several quick fire saves to deny Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka early on with Pep Guardiola's side largely restricted.
