Arsenal’s players have been branded as soft by Stoke’s Steven Nzonzi following the Potters’ 1-0 victory on Saturday. The Gunners title hopes suffered a blow, as Stoke claimed all three points, while Chelsea cruised to a 3-1 win over Fulham and Liverpool also won at Southampton.
After the match at the Britannia, Arsene Wenger was quick to point out the physicality of Stoke’s play, something Nzonzi believes can get under the Gunners skin. Nzonzi said:
“We know that Arsenal play good football but when you start kicking them a little bit, it gets harder for them. They don’t like it, we know that. We don’t care. We’ll keep on doing it, being strong and trying to be as good as we can on the ball.
“It’s not a surprise they have been moaning because they have plenty of technical players.”
