Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-0 in the big 23rd derby of the Premier League and made the battle for the coveted fourth place even more interesting. The Blue already have only three points ahead of their current rival, as well as Manchester United, which has the same asset as Arsenal. Alexandre Lacazette (14 `) and Laurent Kosielni (39 `) signed on for the well-deserved success of Unai Emery`s team, which returned for a 2-3 loss to Stamford Bridge in August. Emery had made three changes to the team that started with the loss to West Ham a week ago. Hector Bellerin, Aaron Ramsay and Lucas Torreira started. Mesut Yozil returned to the group but remained on the bench.
Maurizio Sarri bet on the same 11 who beat Newcastle in the last round. Eden Hazard was again a central striker. Olivier Giroud and Kalum Hudson-Odoi were among the reserves and appeared in the second part, until Alvaro Morata, who is awaiting a transfer, was in the group.
The hosts played better in the first half and deservedly retired on a two goal break. The Blues, on the other hand, acted very hesitantly in defense and apparently had difficulty in centering in front of Kepa Arisabalaga`s door.
Right from the start, Aubameyang missed a good opportunity after centering Lacazette. Shortly thereafter, Torreira did not find the head from the promising position. Chelsea responded with a dangerous shot from Azar, who blocked Aspilikueta`s center, but the ball went wide.
In the 13th minute, Kepa effortlessly fired a strong shot over Kossielli`s head after a Torreira foul. The next minute, Arsenal were already in the lead. The Gunners played after a corner kick, Bellerin centering very well on Aubameyang, who tackled Alonso and shot in the close corner - 1:0.
managed to prevent this possibility. The former Borussia Dortmund striker fired another dangerous shot in the 37th minute when he fired a back scissor, but the ball went wide.
In the 39th minute Arsenal doubled their advance. Chelsea`s defense failed twice in an attempt to ambush. Socratis centers on Kossielni, who finds himself behind the visitors` defense and hits the shoulder, sending the ball unharmed into the corner.
At the very end of the first half, Chelsea reached their purest opportunity, but the `blue` were out of luck as Alonso`s header hit the far beam.
