Matchweek 29: Colney Talk | Arsenal - Chelsea
Arsenal edged past Chelsea with a hard-fought 1-0 victory in a not so exciting London derby! This win not only solidifies our grip on second place but extends our unbeaten run against the Blues to seven games. It was Mikel Merino who stole the headlines, flicking in Martin Ødegaard’s pinpoint corner with a deft header to give Arsenal the lead. The goal marked an end to our long drought from corners and showcased the precision of our set-piece routines.
Chelsea tried to respond, but Arsenal’s defense, led by Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Magalhães, stood firm, keeping their attackers at bay. The second half saw fewer chances but plenty of intensity, with yellow cards flying around in a physical contest.
Merino came close to doubling his tally with a well-struck volley, but Robert Sanchez denied him brilliantly. Chelsea had moments of pressure, but Arsenal’s composure and tactical discipline ensured the lead was never truly threatened. This victory is another step forward in our Premier League campaign, as we continue to build momentum heading into the season’s final stretch.
Tune in for more insights and hear my thoughts on Merino, Timber, and Ødegaard—three players who were pivotal in securing this win. We break for international lull before we head into the long stretch. Hoping for some more good news…until then —Up The Arsenal!
