Arsenal won and “destroyed” Chelsea, Havertz rubbed salt into his old team’s pain

The British media simultaneously scored 8/11 players in Chelsea’s starting lineup with 4 points or less, which is extremely rare even though it is just a social move, with few professional factors after matches in the Premier League. .

The disastrous performance in the round 29 compensation match on the morning of April 24 not only felt like a slap to the ambitions of coach Mauricio Pochettino and his team on their journey to find a ticket to the European Cup next season.

Having a series of eight unbeaten Premier League matches stretching from mid-February, Chelsea, however, is not too confident in the trip to the Emirates. The absence of striker Cole Palmer is considered 50% of the strength of “The Blues” as a harbinger of a less smooth match for the away team and reality comes too quickly, too harshly for Chelsea..

Just in the 4th minute, Leandro Trossard escaped very quickly, received the ball from Declan Rice and fired a narrow-angle shot to beat Chelsea goalkeeper Petrovic. The home team’s quick opening goal made Chelsea as well as their fans in the stands truly stunned.

Luckily for Chelsea, they stood firm for the rest of the first half despite shots from Arsenal strikers, including Kai Havertz, a former Chelsea player.

On the opposite side of the field, the absence of Cole Palmer makes Chelsea’s attack weak.

Everything only exploded at the beginning of the second half when Ben White and Kai Havertz scored consecutive goals from the 52nd to the 57th minute for Arsenal, truly pushing Chelsea to the brink of collapse.

It was still the duo Ben White – Kai Havertz who took turns scoring within 5 minutes, from the 65th to the 70th minute, completely engulfing a powerless and mentally exhausted Chelsea.

The London derby ended with a resounding 5-0 victory for Arsenal. Coach Mikel Arteta’s team firmly consolidated the top spot in the Premier League table with 77 points after 34 matches), temporarily widening the gap with Liverpool to 3 points and Man City to 4 points despite having played more games than these opponents in turn. 1 and 2 matches.
