Arsenal kept their European Dream Alive with a victory at the bridge. Arsenal won Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge which makes it the second loss Chelsea have recorded under Tuchel. An impressive stat if you would ask me because he has done a remarkable job bringing them up the table.
Arsenal didn't play well and it wasn't a pretty victory but they would be happy to have the 3 points and keep their dream of Europa League spot alive. Chelsea dominated both halves but fell short when they couldn't break the resilient defence of Arsenal and lack of luck played a part too as they struck the post twice in quick succession.
Tuchel admitted to the fact that he twitched the line up too much and he took the blame for that because he wasn't getting the vibe at the training and felt using a different line up would help which greatly backfired as it seem. Chelsea were just unlucky in this match and Arsenal held on for the win.
Their problem started when Havertz broke through. Having gone one on one with the goalkeeper, he blasted his effort far above the post. It was shocking to say the least.
Arsenal got their only goal when Zouma played a careless pass to Jorginho who was under pressure and quickly passed to the back hoping the goalkeeper was there. The goalkeeper raced to stop the ball from being an own goal but Aubameyang was on hand to gather the ball and gave Smith-Rowe who slotted it home into the empty net to make it 1-0. Arsenal got their noses in front in the 16th minute. Smith-Rowe has now gotten two Premier League goals in quick succession.
Pulisic thought he has atoned for his earlier error when he scored only for VAR to rule it out for offside and it was the right call. Zuoma's header struck the bar and Giroud was on hand to gather the rebound and he also struck the tip of the cross bar.
Chelsea tried to get back into the game but Arsenal held on. If West Ham wins their game, Chelsea's lead over West Ham would be cut down to 3 points with 2 games in the league to go.
Tuchel would have to find a way around breaking down defensive oppositions as he has been suffering from that when they just score a goal and find it hard to add more despite having the better chances. The good thing is Manchester City won't play defensively so they have a good shot at the Champions League title.
Arsenal has now beaten Chelsea twice this season.
Thank you for your time.
