Arsenal – Chelsea | Premier League: Arsenal to Chelsea derby slap to put more Premier League leaders to sleep

ANDArsenal recovered well from their 0-2 defeat to Aston Villa. Artillerymen They backed Chelsea’s embarrassing 5-0 demolition in the London derby and remain (temporary) leaders of the Premier League.. They are three and four points ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City. but they played one and two more games respectively.

Chelsea conceded the first goal before taking to the field.

To the usual carousel of the wounded (Nkunku, Malo Gusto, James, Nkunku, Chilwell…) added to last minute absence due to Cole Palmer’s illness, The Blues’ Most Valuable Player this season.

The score 1:0 (Real) did not take long to arrive.. This happened in the 4th minute. Rice opened a group in the area and Trossard surprised Petrovic (he could have done more) with a left-footed shot to the near post. The Belgian, formerly of Brighton, reaches double figures for the first time in his career with 10 goals.

The game ended midway through the first half. These were the best minutes of Pochettino’s team, which still doesn’t know what it’s like to beat Arsenal away. In the 24th minute, the post deflected Nico Jackson’s shot, which was saved by Gabriel Magalhães. White, in turn, saved Cucurella’s shot in the 30th minute.

During the break, Petrovich saved the Blues. The Chelsea goalkeeper scored a 2v1 goal in the 26th minute: He first made a save from Havertz and then fired a point-blank shot from Trossard that clipped Disasi.

The second half started the same way as the first. Petrovic repelled two counter-attacks from Odegaard and finished with Rice (49 minutes) and Havertz (51 minutes). Chelsea’s resistance did not last long. White made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute.

Gallagher parried Rice’s shot and The English center/back converted the rebound without resistance.

“Vendetta” by Havertz

The score 3:0 in the 57th minute was scored by Havertz, who exchanged Chelsea for Arsenal for 75 million euros in the summer. Odegaard saved a great pass between Disasi and Cucurella, and this time the former Bayer Leverkusen man did not forgive.

Those from “Poche” did not spend the night. Nico Jackson again forgave the one-on-one situation in the 61st minute. Havertz made it 4-0 in the 65th minute. The scorer of the goal that brought Chelsea the second Champions League in its history, against City (0:1) in 2021, received it from Saka and “nailed” it into the stump of the post. He thus became the first former player to score a Premier League brace for the Blues.

The “little hand” materialized in the 70th minute, scoring a great goal. Ben White received Odegaard after superb triangulation and converted a cross into the very top corner. It was the perfect icing on the cake for Arsenal, who are helping to distance themselves, albeit virtually, from the race for the Premier League. “Goring”, yes, could have been even stronger.
