Calum Chambers will still be in Arsenal fans’ good books as he stuck the boot into Tottenham after Aston Villa beat Spurs on New Year’s Day.
Villa picked up an impressive 2-0 win at Tottenham on Sunday, with goals from Douglas Luiz and Emiliano Buendia ruining Antonio Conte’s start to the new year.
Chambers signed for the Villains from Arsenal last year after spending eight years with the Gunners and, although he never really broke through at the Emirates, fans of his former club will be pleased with him now.
The 27-year-old tweeted after the win at Spurs: ‘North London is…Claret. Happy New Year! #UTV.’
Chambers has not been a regular at Villa since making the move north, but did come on late in the win at Tottenham to make his fourth Premier Leageu appearance of the season.
