Rio Ferdinand raves about Everton defender Ben Godfrey
Former Manchester United defender turned popular football pundit Rio Ferdinand has showered praise on Everton defence and particularly Ben Godfrey following their latest win.
Everton have moved to fourth in the Premier League table following their 2-1 win against Arsenal at Goodison Park last weekend. After a slump in form, the Toffees have now picked up three wins in a row, beating the likes of Chelsea, Leicester City and Arsenal.
Ferdinand feels that Everton’s resurgence is down to their solid foundation at the back. With Lucas Digne and Seamus Coleman injured, Carlo Ancelotti was forced to use the likes of Mason Holgate and Godfrey at the back, and it clicked for them.
