Frank Lampard says he felt Arsenal’s ‘physicality’ from the touchline (Coventry City) Frank Lampard believes Arsenal showed exactly why they are the Premier League champions after Coventry City’s 3-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium on Friday night. Arsenal got their new Premier League season off to an excellent start as goals from Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard secured the victory over Lampard’s side. Coventry, who won the Championship by an 11-point margin last season, were unable to pose a threat to Arsenal in their Premier League return and registered just one shot on target. Lampard admits his Coventry players struggled to cope with Arsenal’s defensive organisation and said he felt the ‘physicality’ from Arteta’s side from the touchline.

Sometimes you respect the opposition and say that.’ In a separate interview with Coventry’s club media channel, Lampard insisted that plenty of teams will struggle away to Arsenal this season. ‘If there’s acclimatisation to the Premier League there it is tonight, that’s the top level of what it is tonight,’ Lampard said. ‘But it’s fine, I’m fine with the boys, a lot of teams will come here and not win the game, and when you go one and two down it’s difficult and when you concede a third early in the second half it’s difficult.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
