Arsenal beat the Chelsea London formation without a right to appeal, with the score of 5-0, on Tuesday evening, in an outstanding game counting for the 29th stage of the English football championship. It was the biggest score difference in the history of head-to-head matches between the two teams in the Premier League.
“The Gunners” quickly opened the scoring at the Emirates Stadium, through Leandro Trossard (4), and then unleashed after the break, when they scored four more times, through Ben White (52, 70) and Kai Havertz (57, 65), former player of the team at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea, without its top scorer Cole Palmer (20 goals and 9 assists in the current edition of the Premier League), managed to cope with Arsenal’s attacks in waves only in the first half, but then collapsed when returning from the dressing room.
Although Todd Boehly has invested more than a billion euros in transfers since taking over the team from Abramovich, the players brought in do not seem to be valued by Chelsea, behaving like mercenaries. At least that’s what most of the “blues” fans think, who, beyond the humiliation with Arsenal, have to endure the prideless attitude of their own players.
9th in the league, Chelsea have lost more games in their last 5 games with Arsenal (4) than in the entire “Mourinho era” (3 defeats in 23 matches). This fact is due to the lack of value, but also the disinterest that many footballers display. The fans want their favorites to be with the club with their soul and give everything to respect the crest, not to give in completely and accept their condition. A banner displayed by a young “blues” fan caused a stir during the game against Arteta’s team, a sign that supporters can tolerate anything up to laziness and carelessness.
“I don’t want your shirt! I want you to fight for our jersey” was the poignant message posted by the young Chelsea fan at the Emirates.
Pochettino disappointed with Chelsea’s total capitulation at the Emirates
Pochettino seemed to agree with the fan, with the Argentine coach speaking in his press conference about how his players had given up, completely giving up when they realized they had no chance of even picking up a point at the Emirates.
“After conceding the two goals, we capitulated. I was no longer in the game, I no longer existed. It is impossible for us to play such a good game against City on Saturday (no Chelsea played to a draw against the champions in the semi-final of the FA Cup, even if they lost on the limit, 0-1) and present ourselves against him like this Arsenal. You can lose a game against Arsenal because they are a big team, but there is no excuse for our attitude. When we have a bad day, we are unrecognizable, we give up completely and it seems like we can’t fight anymore. It’s a shame because when the game goes our way we are capable of great things“, said the South American technician in the press conference after the match.
Following this victory, Arsenal accumulated 77 points and consolidated its position as the leader of the standings, moving three lengths away from FC Liverpool, who will meet their compatriot Everton on Wednesday in the “Merseyside Derby” at the Goodison Park stadium . The big problem for the “gunners”, however, is Manchester City, which, although it is now 4 points behind the leader, has two games less played and depends only on it to win a new title.
