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.’

When asked why she supports Chelsea, Chrissy replied: ‘Listen, I love an underdog, and I love coming in and being surprised by how much a team can do and and I think it was so much fun for us to root for them, because everyone was on Arsenal side. 

‘Yeah, I wanted to really give them the support that they needed. When you said Chelsea, I was like, is Chelsea Ipswich? I don’t know.’ 

John continued: ‘We go to some of the LA games, the soccer games, every once in a while. And this is, you know, this is where the real football has been played.

Chrissy said: ‘We feel spoiled to get to be here, especially as people that don’t understand the game and the nuances as much as anybody else. So the fact that we get to be on the field…

‘We love the songs. I was always I was listening. I was trying to figure out what everyone was singing the whole game. But I love how synced up everyone is,’ John added.
