The Swiss convinced.
scene of the game
It was 18 minutes when Martin Odegaard scored to make it 1-0 for Arsenal and the Emirates Stadium exploded. After a period of pressure, the young Norwegian met Granit Xhaka. After this goal, Arsenal played absolutely free. Arsenal only allowed themselves a small phase of weakness in the second half, which promptly led to a goal.
key figure
Granit Xhaka showed a world-class game in the 3-1 win. Against City he was still slightly injured following a cold, but now he was to be found everywhere on the field. And no matter what he did: the national captain convinced – and how! Not only did he prepare the first two goals, he also had his feet in the game when it was 3-0. In the end, his pass rate was almost 90 percent. No wonder the Arsenal fans celebrated the Swiss with loud chants.
better team
Clearly Arsenal. The city duel was already decided at the break. Far too passive Blues defended more than airy and sometimes invited the Gunners to score goals. Only following the 0: 3 Chelsea dared to go a little further forward. Nothing at all came from Chelsea. Frank Lampard’s team is in twelfth place, nine points clear of a relegation zone. As a reminder: Chelsea spent over CHF 600 million on new players this season – a record!
Grandstand chirping
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang showed a very weak game. The striker has scored three goals and set up one more in 21 games this season. He was substituted at half-time in the game once morest Arsenal – understandably so. The striker had nine (!) ball contacts in the first half – four of these happened at kick-off.

65′ I 3:1 I Noni Madueke put the ball in the goal. Arsenal’s defense didn’t look good for that goal.
outlook
Arsenal lost 4-1 to Manchester City last week. Because of this bankruptcy, the team around national captain Granit Xhaka lost the lead in the Premier League. Arsenal have now regained this thanks to a 3-0 win once morest Chelsea – at least for the time being. Because: Competitor City has two games less and two points less. But the fight for the championship title is not over yet.
