Arsenal vulgarizes Chelsea with number five :: zerozero.pt

If there was any doubt regarding Chelsea’s inconsistency, the blues they tried to dispel them on Tuesday night.

After the impressive victory against Everton, in this case 6-0, the team led by Maurício Pochettino traveled to Arsenal and was defeated 5-0. With this result, the gunners they resumed their isolated leadership of the Premier League, albeit under conditions (three points and one game more than Liverpool; four points and two games more than Manchester City).

The triumph of the team led by Mikel Arteta began to be built at minute four, at which point Trossard, after a great collective play, shot with his left foot, with a strong cross shot. The fact that the 1-0 remained until rest could indicate that Chelsea would put up more of a fight in the second half, but this did not happen.

In fact, exactly the opposite happened…

Just to open the second half, Ben White took advantage of a confusing move following a corner to double Arsenal’s lead, before Havertz responded in the best way to a great pass from Odegaard to make it 3-0 in the 57th minute.

At a time when the blue’s discouragement was already evident, Havertz took advantage of the opponent’s passivity to score twice, while Ben White made the final 5-0 in a move in which he clearly gave the idea that he wanted to pass instead of shoot.

With the fight to win the Premier League entering the final stretch, Arsenal did not make it easy and put pressure on their direct opponents.
