The Arsenal was on the right side of a nervous, unpleasant and deeply puzzling victory at Casea at the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
In a meeting between two parts without a striker in shape with each other and also missing their best player, those at the Emirates stadium were fortunate enough to witness as many a goal.
The head of the first half of Mikel Merino from a corner turned out to be the difference in a game that did not have many immediate branches. Three more points leave the arsenal 12 Liverpool driftWhile Chelsea remains in fourth place.
As the game was deployed
The party did not have 200 seconds of age before Chelsea’s defensive third began to look like a Arsenal Shooting gallery. The Gunners roar on Sunday London Derby, scoring Robert Sánchez, who was married to a first effort before the Merino header arrived at the corner of the 20th minute.
Leandro Trossard had a Sighter fizz, while Gabriel Martinelli closed twice. Declan Rice seemed to be especially fired against the club that left him of his 14 -year -old academy.
However, once they failed to build the deserved lead, the hosts began to fade. Chelsea: he didn’t have his Talisman wounded Cole Palmer In addition to their central centers, they took advantage of the passivity of the Arsenal and became an increasingly uniform contest.
The interval at half time punched the growing impulse of Chelsea. With the words of Mikel Arteta Still sounding in their ears, the Gunners strengthened the sewing of the midfield and the defensive lines, firmly involving the brake of hand. There were only eight shots throughout the second 45 minutes, only three of which forced to save any goalkeeper and none was a vaguely threatening position.

The Chelsea was found on the right side of two VAR reviews of the first half that caused a fiercely partisan emirate. One may have been more worthy of despising the other.
Marc Cucurella was accused of handling the ball after entangling with Jurien Timber in the penalty box in the 12th minute. The Premier League Official Party Center He explained that Var Jarred Gillett considered the defender’s arm “to be in a long -awaited position without any clear or deliberate action towards the ball.”
The replacements suggested that it was a lot of the case, and the ball seemed to hit the arm over the shirt cut anyway, but no explanation was provided for the Wesley Fofana stamp.
Rice had attracted Fofana to a clumsy journey near the halfway line before falling on the ball. Perhaps frustrated by the slow start of his side in the contest, Chelsea Right-Back pointed his pegs in the strike in the direction of the ball while taking a fleshy piece of the rice thigh. Fofana was reserved for this indiscretion, but it may have been fortunate to flee more punishment.
It may take a while when the stereotypes fade away. Brazil is still intended for many as the epitome of international football, but they lost to a nation 53rd in the world last year. Stoke City will always be a “hard place to go” even though they have the fifth record of home in the championship. Jack Grealish, 29, is still a young man with some rough edges to soften.
For many, Arsenal can be very well confirmed as the “Corner Kings” of the Premier League. However, his last goal of this type of dead ball situation was a head of Gabriel in the middle of Dominic Solanke in January of January Northern London Derby. Until Sunday, that is.
Draging his family creation of “Big Boys on the back”, Arsenal dragged the six -gardens box. Merino had a curve space for his race around the meat dough and was stuck to the head to the end. The arsenal superpower deserted them in the same way that all their strikers were injured (which may not be a coincidence: who, after all, grabs and attacks the corners?). But they rediscovered their strength (but briefly) in this narrow victory.
Forget the multitude of the emirates of 60,000 people who are celebrating another victory of the derby, the goalkeeper of the Royal Society, Alex Remiro, would have been the most grateful viewer on Sunday afternoon.
If the Shoot-Stopper Basque had found time to be tuned to the Premier League, before the league meeting with Rayo Vallecano, he would have seen his two fierce rivals for the place of goalkeepers number one in Spain who would do everything in his power to never win another international call.
That Robert Sanchez got a way back to Chelsea’s XI after leaving -Sea publicly fell by Maresca is a testimony of Philip Jorgensen, his own failures. The returning Espanyol seemed to be undone from the starting shot, giving steps directly to the red t -shirts and the ball turned out as if each touch gave it an electric discharge.
David Raya de l’Arsenal probably managed to go out to his compatriot. The Gunners goalkeeper let Cucurella’s tamed effort searched through the two arms, rotating closely above the distant post.
