Laughing at Arsenal for ‘recapturing the lead’, crying at Chelsea for ‘6 consecutive losses’… Arsenal, ‘London Derby’ 3-1 win → 2 points gap with Man City!

The two teams who played the London derby had mixed feelings.

Arsenal won 3-1 against Chelsea in the 34th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-23 season held at Emirates Stadium in London, England at 4 am (Korean time) on the 3rd. As a result, Arsenal (78 points) surpassed Manchester City (76 points) to become first, while Chelsea remained in 12th place (39 points) without gaining any points.

Both teams needed a win. Arsenal are competing fiercely for the lead with Man City. Prior to this game, Manchester City had played one less game and were ahead of Arsenal by one point. Arsenal was in a position to watch the results of Man City after winning all the remaining games. 

Chelsea are also desperate for victory. Chelsea appointed manager Graham Porter at the beginning of this season, but they have performed below expectations. In the end, interim coach Frank Lampard was brought in, but there is no sign of a rebound. Chelsea had been on a five-game losing streak in the EPL and Champions League since Lampard came.

The starting rosters of both teams aiming for victory have been revealed. The home team, Arsenal, was based on a 4-3-3 formation with Trosar, Jesus, Saka, Xaka, Jorginho, Odegaard, Zinchenko, Magalyangis, Kibior, White and Ramsdale. Chelsea started with Sterling, Aubameyang, Madueke, Kovacic, Enzo, Kante, Chilwell, Silva, Popana, Azpilicueta and Kepa.

The final winner was Arsenal. Arsenal scored the opening goal in the 18th minute of the first half. Xaka raised a grounder cross from the left, and Odegard finished it with a shot without delay. Arsenal scored an additional goal in the 31st minute. It was similar to the opening goal scene. From the left, Zhaka posted a low cross, and Odegard lightly pushed it in with his left foot again. 카지노사이트

The gap widened further. He scored again in the 34th minute of the first half. After a cross from the right by White, there was a confusion situation, and Jesus scored the last shot. In the 20th minute of the second half, Madueke’s goal seemed to set the stage for Chelsea to pursue. However, the match ended in a 3-1 victory for Arsenal.

With this, Arsenal succeeded in recapturing the lead with 78 points. It is a position to watch the results of Manchester City’s future matches, but it is showing the fighting spirit of ‘it’s not over until it’s over’. On the other hand, Chelsea fell into a pit of six consecutive losses after Lampard took over. They are not even in the top 50%, let alone European competitions.

Odegaard, who led Arsenal to victory by scoring multiple goals on the day, received an rating of 8.8 from Whoscored.com, a football statistics website. Both teams were the best. Zaka, who assisted all of Odegaard’s goals, also scored 8.1 points. Arsenal players generally received a rating of 7 points.

On the other hand, most Chelsea players were rated in the 5-6 range. ‘WhoScored.com’ gave Madueke the highest score of 7.5 among all Chelsea players. Kovacic, who provided assists, also scored 7.2 points, while Silva and Kepa each scored 7.4 points.
