A hyper attacking Arsenal won the last London Derby against Chelsea 3-1 for their own fans. Odegaard made the nets vibrate twice, Jesus also took his goal. Leandro Trossard played an hour at Arsenal.
Arsenal came, saw and conquered. In a sold-out Emirates Stadium, ‘The Gunners’ showed themselves hyper-dominant. Odegaard converted the dominance into a wonderful opening goal. And it didn’t stop there. More than ten minutes later, the Norwegian scored again, again on the instructions of Xhaka.
Chelsea saw stars. Three minutes later, the defense couldn’t clear the ball. Gabriel Jesus was the man in the right place and hit the rebound in goal. Painful for the Blues, painful for Frank Lampard. The Englishman was able to win one of his last twenty matches as a coach. Madueke’s 3-1 was no more than a cloth for the bleeding.
Arsenal jump into the lead over City with 78 points (from 34 games). Kevin De Bruyne’s team follows second with 76 points from 32 games and can therefore virtually overtake The Gunners.
