Arsenal are still at the top of the Premier League table following victory against Chelsea but according to Rio Ferdinand, the North Londoners do not need to celebrate the victory.
Share:Gunners stunned the Premier League once again with yet another impressing victory as they smiled back to the Northern part of London on Sunday after thrashing Chelsea to claim all three points at Stamford Bridge.
Blues dropped to the 7th position to record the worst spell since Frank Lampard’s era with the side now very likely to drop further into the bottom 10 should they lose their next game.
Liverpool, Fulham and Crystal Palace all sit below Chelsea as all are at par 19 points while Chelsea top them with just 2 points following the loss against Gunners which former Man United defender, Rio Ferdinand has blamed on injuries.
According to Ferdinand Gunners could boldly celebrate if only Chelsea had entered the game with their full squad.
Benjamin Chilwell, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Koulibaly, Wesly Fofana, Reece James and N’Golo Kante were all absent in the game against Arsenal with Blues looking brutally bad.
Not just did Arsenal possess most of the game, they also made more attacks and had more shots on target against Chelsea.
“Still impressed, but it was not Chelsea’s first team. Kepa is the No.1 goalkeeper now. [Reece] James, Chilwell, Koulibaly, Fofana, Kante, that’s 6 players who all start. It was their SECOND team, their B team. 6 starters didn’t start,” Ferdinand said.
