Watch Chelsea icon Frank Lampard leave Amazon Prime Video pundits stunned with brutal put down of Arsenal pair

FRANK LAMPARD has issued a savage live TV putdown of Arsenal stars William Saliba and Gabriel.

The Chelsea legend had no time for a comparison made by host Gabby Logan ahead of the Gunners clash with PSG.

Lampard, working as a pundit for Amazon, was watching the warm-ups ahead of the Champions League showdown.

Host Logan focused on Saliba and Gabriel, who are forming a formidable partnership for Arsenal at the back this season.

Addressing Lampard, Logan said: “Chelsea of course, on your way to European success, relied on the partnership between Ricardo Carvalho and John Terry.

“Are [Saliba and Gabriel] comparable?”

Lampard, who won the Champions League alongside Carvalho and Terry, pulled no punches with his response.

He hit back: “No! Not yet. If they go and win two, three Premier Leagues and a Champions League, maybe you can compare them.

“I’m not putting them down. They are young, fantastic players improving all the time.”

To a loud laugh from co-pundit Micah Richards, he added: “Win some stuff, boys. Then you can get in that conversation.”

One fan responded to the clip: “And Lampard is absolutely spot on.”

Another said: “Let him cook.”

While a third argued: “Anyone with a brain shuts down this ridiculous comparison.”

Earlier in the Amazon broadcast, Logan was forced to apologise after a huge scheduling blunder.

Arsenal fans were left seething after Prime Video suffered a big error.

The beginning of the preview show had been billed as 6.30pm.

But as the clock struck the designated time, the build-up did not start.

Coverage didn’t start until 7pm, with Gabby forced into a grovelling apology.

She said: “Apologies, we are a little later than planned.”
