Manchester United legend-turned-pundit Rio Ferdinand made a good point following Arsenal’s 4-1 Premier League win over Newcastle United yesterday.
The Gunners continued their fantastic run of league form in 2024. They registered their sixth straight victory since the turn of the year with another resounding display.
The north London giants comfortably beat the Magpies by a 4-1 scoreline. The margin of victory could have been wider with the chances created by Mikel Arteta’s side.
They have now netted a stunning 25 goals from their last six games while conceding just thrice.
This has substantially increased their goal difference from 17 to 39. Speaking after the game, Ferdinand said that nobody is asking where the number nine is for Arsenal.
The former United star said that the team is functioning and scoring at the moment and Arsenal have become a very efficient unit since returning from the winter break.
He told TNT Sports (via BBC Sport): “Nobody is asking where the number nine is and that happens when the team is functioning and scoring.”
“Arsenal have become a very efficient team and unit right now.”
