The principal confrontation between Chelsea and Arsenal in the 36th round of the English Premier League in the course of its development turned out to be quite tense, as a result of which it ended with the only productive mistake from Jorginho, after which the guests of Stamford Bridge were able to formalize an important success for them (1: 0).
Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal Video of a goal and a review of the match The head coach of the Gunners Mikel Arteta in his post-match interview noted the success of his charges, who for the first time since 2013 managed to win three games in a row on the road, without missing goals..
" I believe that the results of Thomas Tuchel's work in Chelsea are visible to the naked eye. The opponents have many high-quality footballers, good organization of the game, which seriously complicated our task.
However, from the very first minutes we showed that we had come here to win.. After the goal was scored, we needed to retreat to our own half of the field, where we needed a little luck to defend the goal.. Smith-Row's goal was the result of our high-quality pressure in the opponent's half, which made the opponents err.
Once again, we managed not to let into our gates.
I can only say that not every team in the Premier League is capable of repeating this.. I think that incredible organization in defense helps us in this regard, and only then a little luck in attack comes into play..
Also, we slightly changed our tactical drawing, which allowed us to balance the problem areas of the team.. It was not easy for the rival, as well as for us to defend against them "
Arsenal will have another away London derby in the next round - against Crystal Palace.
