Premier League: Arsenal creak against Chelsea
Arsenal creak against Chelsea In front throughout the match, Arsenal cracked on the end of the game conceding two avoidable goals and must bow 2-1 to Chelsea at the Emirates. For his first with the Gunners, Arteta must have regrets
A week after being hired, Mikel Arteta was having his first big meeting at the head of Arsenal. Three days after the 1-1 draw for Bournemouth in their first match for the Spanish coach, the Gunners faced Chelsea this time at Emirates Stadium. No small task, but London's blue rivals were tough at the moment. Lampard and his team came out of a 5-game losing streak over the last 7 league games and watched the contestants return to stride. Willian had the confidence of his leading coach associated with Abraham and Mount. Opposite, Arteta sent Lacazette, Aubameyang and Özil in front with the young Nelson. Guendouzi and Torreira started in the middle, but not Xhaka, supposedly sick
Arsenal creak against Chelsea Perhaps more motivated by the event and more confident than their opponent, Arsenal started this game on a strong note. The locals took the game on their own and were quick to offer themselves several situations with an Özil with a stick. On a German corner, David Luiz attempted an acrobatic recovery (6th). On a distant free kick caused by the 2014 world champion, David Luiz sent a powerful strike repulsed with difficulty by Kepa (9th). Mason Mount tried to start the revolt without much success (11th) and Arsenal ended up being rewarded for his good start to the match
Arsenal cracks late in the game
Arsenal creak against Chelsea Still on a set kick, Chambers extended a corner from Özil and allowed Aubameyang to open the scoring (1-0, 13th). Chelsea seemed lost on the ground in the image of the streaking cards (30ex2, 33rd) and could even have conceded a new goal quickly without a rescue from Kanté in front of Lacazette (18th). Only Chambers' knee injury deteriorated Arsenal’s good early afternoon (23rd). The score at the break remained there despite the opportunities of Zouma (38th) and Aubameyang (43rd). The debates balanced out a bit at the start of the second period. The Blues were putting their heads up a little bit and could finally show some football
Arsenal creak against Chelsea It was still quite shy like this cover of Kanté (48th). Arsenal were waiting in their camp against a hardworking collective but the more time went on and the more the Blues came dangerously close to the surface of Leno. The goalkeeper had nothing to do but gave a lot of voice to maintain the level of concentration among his defenders. Only Abraham's head spun in the arms of the porter (75th). The end of the match went crazy. Arsenal missed the break against Aubameyang (78th) and watched the match slip past their noses due to individual errors. Leno passed through this corner of Mount and offered a ready-made goal to Jorginho (1-1, 83rd). A first stab, then a second. While the Gunners were in good position in the opposing area, Abraham led the counter, shifted Willian who gave him, to crucify the Gunners (1-2, 87th
