Rio Ferdinand has hit out at Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham fans after Burnley moved to fourth in the Premier League.

The Clarets secured a late 1-0 win over Stoke City on Tuesday night to leapfrog the aforementioned teams and move into a Champions League spot.

The win was their ninth of the season, and Sean Dyche's side are now only four points off second-placed Manchester United.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday morning, Ferdinand posted a video congratulating Burnley on their unlikely achievement.
