Arsenal fans have been left furious after Jarred Gillett was named as the referee for Sunday’s north London derby against Tottenham. Gillett, 37, was the referee for the Gunners’ opening Premier League game of the season as they defeated Wolves 2-0 at the Emirates last month. The Australian official angered Arsenal supporters in that match when he didn’t send off Wolves star Yerson Mosquera after he grabbed Kai Havertz by the throat. Last season, Gillett disallowed a last-minute Havertz goal against Aston Villa, which has also been referenced by Arsenal fans on social media before the derby. #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #tottenham #gillett #fans #football #premierleague

Frank Lampard fears Chelsea’s youthful squad could hold them back under new boss Enzo Maresca after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Blues were at their scintillating best in a 6-0 win over Wolves last weekend but were brought back down to earth in midweek after a 2-1 loss to Servette in the Europa Conference League. Another inconsistent display followed at Stamford Bridge on Sunday as Maresca’s side surged ahead through Nicolas Jackson but were pinned back and forced to settle for a point after Eberechi Eze’s second-half strike. With a new manager and plenty of fresh signings still to blood into the team, Lampard urged caution from fans, insisting those factors and the squad’s youthful make-up will lead to inconsistent performances. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #franklampard #enzomaresca #crystalpalace #football #transferwindow

Wolves taunted Premier League rivals Chelsea in a video announcing the signing of Brazilian star Pedro Lima. The 18-year-old, who Chelsea also targeted, has signed a five-year deal at Molineux with an option of a further year. Wolves have spent around £8.5m to sign the highly-rated teenager after he made 26 appearances for Palmeiras in his first senior season. Lima impressed for Brazil’s youth team at last year’s U17 World Cup, featuring in all five of the country’s games. #footballfanarena #Chelsea #FFA #Wolves
