Arsenal legend Martin Keown hit out at new boy Antonio Rudiger during his performance in Chelsea‘s 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester City.
Manchester City demonstrated their Premier League title credentials with a dominant 1-0 victory at champions Chelsea.
Kevin De Bruyne scored the only goal as Pep Guardiola’s men suffocated Chelsea with their intensity to move six points clear of the holders after seven games.
Chelsea lost striker Alvaro Morata to an apparent hamstring problem in the first half and were second best to a City side denied when Thibaut Courtois saved from David Silva and then Fernandinho.
The 24-year-old centre-back joined the Premier League champions for an initial fee of £29million from Roma in the summer and has made seven appearances for the Blues since signing on the dotted line.
Rudiger started in this weekend’s defeat to City at Stamford Bridge and Keown believes the Germany internatioanl ‘is not at the level required’ to play for Chelsea. During the match, Keown said on BT Sport: ‘He doesn’t look, Rudiger, like he’s at the level required here.
‘He looks very nervy in possession.’
