John Legend and Chrissy Teigen joined the celebrities attending Arsenal vs Ipswich Town on Friday but were slammed by football fans after an ’embarrassing’ interview.
The singer, 45, and his wife, 39, appeared to forget which teams had played when they spoke to Prime Video Sport after the match.
Fans branded the couple ‘clueless’ as they got confused, with Chrissy even wearing a Chelsea shirt to the game.
Speaking with the streamer, John said: ‘This was so fun. This is our first Premier League game ever, and we’re here for the holidays.
‘We’re having a great time. You know, my friends, I don’t know the league very well, and my friends were like, well, Arsenal is going to win by like, you know, six goals.
‘But it was a closer match than we expected, closer than we thought.’
