Mikel Arteta's team scored five goals at the opponents' goal.
Arsenal hosted Chelsea in the 29th round of the elite division of the English Championship.. The respect of Ukrainian patients has traditionally been reserved for Oleksandr Zinchenko and Mikhail Mudryk. The Gunners' defender was left in the reserves, and the Blues' reserve player finally appeared on the field from the starting lineups.
Mikel Arteta's team was happy to actively start the match and was quickly able to open up a goal against their teammate - Trossard, winning the ball in someone else's penalty area and hitting Petrovich with a shot from a tight corner. 1:0. The Lords continued to put pressure on the opponent’s goal, and Chelsea managed to come closer to the middle of the half, when Mikhailo Mudrik kindly crossed from Kutovoy, but after Badiashile’s throw to the far post, no one was able to close the pass.
A few minutes later, the Blues could have established parity - Jackson broke through the left flank and crossed into the center - the ball caught Magalhaes' leg and then flew into the posture. After which there was a five-wheeler, when only the miracle of Chelsea turned upside down from the goal. From the very beginning, the loss of the ball by the visitors led to a hard shot from Gaverts from between the penalty kicks, but Petrovich kicked the ball and screwed his team. Once upon a time, Trossard took a free kick from someone else, and Petrovich, after a ricochet, knocked the shot away from the opponents.
The teams went to rely on the minimal advantages of Mikel Arteta and Chelsea, apparently placing great hopes on the other half. Meanwhile, all the plans of the “blues” were completely ruined. Rice intercepted the pass on the way to the free kick and shot low, after the ricochet the ball jumped to White, and he shot right into the far corner. 2:0. The guests did not realize what had happened, as Edegor, with a smart pass from the famous Gaverts, came out of Kukurella and punched right under the crossbar. 3:0.
Pochettino's team could have reacted when Jackson rejected a pass to Madueka in the penalty area, taking the opponent and shooting back from several meters away, but then Arsenal continued to attack carelessly. The number of goals continued in the middle of the half, when Saka moved into the center, passing to Gavertz - he chipped the ball and shot right into the corner. 4:0.
Do you think that's all? Not at all! Edegor made a cunning pass to White's knowledgeable men, and he tried to give a pass, in case of a blow to the far upper corner. 5:0.
A century before, Chelsea fired the first blow into the opening of someone else's gate. The guests were still unable to complete the game initiative. In compensation, the hour of Zinchenko and Martinelli to fight with Petrovich, but the Brazilian lost his duel. The final whistle recorded a blow against Chelsea, which was the Blues' biggest against Arsenal.
