Denilson: Arsenal far better than ageing Chelsea

Denilson insists Arsenal are the best team in the league - despite their draw at Sunderland.

Arsenal find themselves four points adrift of champions Chelsea, with the rivals due to meet at Stamford Bridge on Sunday 3rd October.

"Arsenal are the best team," the Brazilian midfielder said after the draw at Sunderland.

"We have the players and we have the touch. Chelsea have very strong players but they are old.

"This was just one game, we are still in a good position - and we play like Barcelona. Arsenal are going to win a trophy this season."

Denilson insists the draw at Sunderland, which came courtesy of a last-minute equaliser from Darren Bent, was not a disaster.

"You can't expect to win at Sunderland," he said.

"Sunderland have beaten the best sides here; it was always going to be a big game. It's always difficult, it's a tough place to play but I still think we can win the Premier League. You can't use this one result to say we're not ready."
