Dimitar Berbatov labelled Arsenal the “new Stoke City” in a tongue-in-cheek moment after the Gunners beat his former club Manchester United 2-0 on Wednesday night.
Speaking on a panel on Amazon Prime Video after the game between Arsenal and United on Wednesday, Berbatov aimed a cheeky dig at the North London club, calling Mikel Arteta’s side the “new Stoke City” for relying on set pieces for goals.
“Probably the Premier League is the only league in the world where you have so many players around the goalkeeper, pushing, shoving, making chaos. Normally it is going to be a foul.”
“Not here. You need to be strong. And that’s probably why he (Ruben Amorim) was watching from the side, he was like, ‘What is going on with my keeper?’ You need to work on that. As we joke, Arsenal is the new Stoke City, right? Depending on set-pieces, which can give you the win, as it was today.”
