EPL: Arsenal rejoicing for defeating Chelsea’s second team – Ferdinand

Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has told Arsenal to stop celebrating their Premier League victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

According to Ferdinand, Arsenal only beat Chelsea’s ‘B team’.

The London derby between the two Premier League giants ended 1-0 in favour of Mikel Arteta’s side on Sunday, taking the Gunners back to the top of the Premier League table after their opening 13 games.

Ferdinand was not convinced by the strength of the Chelsea team that played against the Gunners on Sunday.

He told his YouTube podcast: “Look at the opposition you [Arsenal] were playing, it wasn’t even their first team!

“Still impressed, but it was not their first team. Kepa [Arrizabalaga] is the No.1 goalkeeper now.

“[Reece] James, [Ben] Chilwell, [Kalidou] Koulibaly, [Wesley] Fofana, [N’Golo] Kante, that’s six players who all [usually] start.

“It was their second team, their B team. Six starters didn’t start!”
