Arsenal continued their impressive run of form in the Premier League with victory over Everton on Sunday.

Having been unlucky to face games with Manchester City and Chelsea to start the season, the Gunners are now in their stride under Unai Emery with four consecutive wins.

However, the three points didn't come easily against Everton with the home side relying on Man of the Match Petr Cech to make a number of key saves in the first-half.

It wasn't until after the break that Arsenal asserted their authority with Alexandre Lacazette producing a moment of magic to open the scoring.

After hours of goalless football on Super Sunday, the Frenchman cut inside on his right foot and fired an unstoppable curling effort past the reach of Jordan Pickford.

Lacazette scored during Everton win

It quickly settled Arsenal and - courtesy of some questioning assistant refereeing - their lead was soon doubled with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doubling his league tally.

Naturally then, Sky Sports took the decision to select the two goalscorers for their post-match interview, analysing their goals with Jermaine Defoe.

The segment was conducted by Sky veteran Geoff Shreeves, who proceeded to ask both players about their performance and finding the net.

Awkward moment during Sky interview

Viewers quickly found the interview quite awkward, though, and that was especially the case after Lacazette decided to use the word 'balls.'

Pretty harmless, right? After all, it's a pretty common phrase to describe showing integrity in football and fans still remember Troy Deeney's notorious 'cojones' interview.

Nevertheless, Shreeves felt it necessary to pull up Lacazette for the comment and noted: "Steady with the language, I know English isn't your first [language] but be careful."

The moment quickly sparked reaction from football fans and most notably Piers Morgan. Take a look at the video and response:

Many actually interpreted Lacazette's 'balls' comments as referencing the amount of saves Cech had to make during the game, which makes Shreeves' warning all the more bizarre.

Shreeves himself reacts on Twitter

Nevertheless, he felt it necessary to address the issue and was quick to explain himself on Twitter after the game. Check out his explanation:

Ultimately, Shreeves was just doing his job and felt Lacazette's comment needed to be picked up on.

Seeing people apologised for after swearing on television is a pretty common occurrence, it just depends where Lacazette's particular word ranks on the list of inappropriate terms.

That is - of course - despite the fact 'balls' is a pretty regular word in football analysis, even if used in a completely different context.

We're sure Shreeves won't lose too much sleep over the episode but the awkwardness will still feel fresh to the fans watching live.
