In the make-up match of round 29 of the Premier League, thanks to home-field advantage and somewhat more stable performance, Arsenal welcomed Chelsea with certain confidence. In the 4th minute, the North London representative took the lead.

Originating from Declan Rice’s situation of pulling the ball on the left wing, the English player provided an assist for Leandro Trossard to launch a decisive left-foot shot at close range that hit the net of goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.

Taking advantage of the victory, the home team continuously had remarkable attacks. In the 9th minute, starting from a situation where Chelsea players lost the ball in their own half, Martin Odegaard made a quick pass to Kai Havertz. However, the German star’s hesitation caused the opportunity to unfortunately pass. 

Chelsea players almost only knew how to endure the match in the first 20 minutes. In the 21st minute, after a few moves, Declan Rice decided to try his luck with a shot from outside the Chelsea penalty area but the ball flew over the bar.

It wasn’t until the 23rd minute that Chelsea had their first notable situation. Nicolas Jackson dribbled the ball with great effort on the left wing before making a pass inside, causing the ball to hit midfielder Gabriel’s foot before hitting the home team’s goal post.

In the 29th minute, Marc Cucurella’s favorable pass gave Enzo Fernandez a chance to score inside the Arsenal penalty area, but unfortunately the ball went wide of the post.

In the last 15 minutes of the first half, both Chelsea and Arsenal slowed down, causing the match to become boring. The first 45 minutes ended with a temporary advantage in favor of Mikel Arteta and his team.

Entering the second half, the game did not change much compared to the first 45 minutes. Starting from a corner kick on the right wing, Ben White took advantage of the opportunity to increase the score to 2-0 for Arsenal in the 50th minute after scoring a close-range shot from close range.

In the 56th minute, receiving Martin Odegaard’s pass, Kai Havertz escaped to face goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic. The German star handled it calmly before shooting past his former team.

Chelsea’s nightmare has not stopped. In the 65th minute, receiving a pass from Bukayo Saka in the Chelsea penalty area, Kai Havertz handled it neatly before launching a diagonal shot to increase the score to 4-0 for Arsenal.

In the 70th minute, Ben White’s “over-footed” cross on the right wing sent the ball flying straight into goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic’s net before the surprised eyes of Chelsea players. 5-0 for Arsenal.

In the remaining minutes of the second half, with consecutive defeats, Chelsea players could no longer maintain their spirit. They encountered a deadlock against Arsenal’s solid defense.

In the end, Arsenal defeated Chelsea 5-0, thereby widening the gap with Manchester City to 4 points (Mikel Arteta and his team played 2 more matches).
