Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas had a pop at former teammates Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor after yesterday's 6-1 thumping of Everton. Cesc said of the new Manchester City pair: "They are both great players.

"But they had problems and didn't want to continue at Arsenal, so leaving was the best thing they could do.

"It was best for us because we want players who are committed.

"We want to win things together. It was a great result today but we are not going to win every game 6-1.

"This was only the first game, there are 37 more Premier League matches to go."
