Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand admitted that he was not impressed by Arsenal’s performance in the London derby against Tottenham (4−1) in the 12th round of the English Championship.
«From Arsenal’s side, it wasn’t a five-star game. The score was five-star, but there was no fight. Arsenal didn’t shift above third gear. You expect a little spark. Arsenal had three players who had never played in a North London derby before. Tottenham probably had one.
At the start of the week, I was thinking about this match. Nothing the players did reminded me it was a North London derby,» Ferdinand is quoted by Sky Sports.
