Arsenal Pass Another Premier League Title Test With A Statement Win At Chelsea

Arsenal Pass Another Premier League Title Test With A Statement Win At Chelsea

Arsenal returned to the top of the league table once again with a 1-0 win over London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Gabriel Martinez put Arsenal ahead on 63 minutes with his second goal of the season to settle a hard-fought game and crown Mikel Arteta’s 150th match in charge.

The victory marked a third win in a row at Stamford Bridge for Arteta’s men, who reestablished their two-point advantage over Manchester City with one match to go before the league breaks for the World Cup.

The Statement win puts Arsenal back on top of the table to prove their determination of annexing the league trophy this season.
Arsenal only beat Chelsea by a solitary Gabriel goal but they played with a conviction and purpose which has previously been something of a rarity in games away from home against the traditional “Big Six.”

On the otherhand, Chelsea have had injury problems under manager Graham Potter, still acclimatising to his new role, but this was nevertheless a victory which underlined the quality and clarity with which Mikel Arteta has rebuilt Arsenal. This was the Gunners’ third successive victory at Stamford Bridge, but on their two previous visits, they had 32% possession. On Sunday, that figure rose to 56% (it was 61% at half-time) as Arsenal imposed themselves on Chelsea till the end of the game.

There was also a propensity for Arsenal of old to endure a nervy finale riddled with errors and self-doubt but there was none of that. They are now 13 points clear of Chelsea, back on top of the Premier League and safe with the knowledge that if they win at struggling Wolves next week they will stay there during the World Cup break.
