Arsenal v Chelsea: Premier League – Live! | Soccer

This is only the second blank sheet of Bernd Leno in the Premier League. It is no coincidence that captain Laurent Koscielny, today's man of the match, is back in the squad after this long injury. It is not a coincidence that the midfielder is made up of this axis Torreira-Xhaka-Guendouzi. You have to wonder how much longer Mesut Ozil will be at the club. But it's a debate for another day. Arsenal has been wonderful tonight and, after a difficult time, will consider the possibility of playing in the Champions League next season, which seemed far beyond them a short time ago. It will be a hell of a fight, however, if you take into account the absurd thrust of Manchester United in the equation. Misfiring Chelsea might be worried that they are heading in the opposite direction. Sarri has a few things to consider.

And that's it! Arsenal rightly wins this great London Derby! They return to fifth place, ahead of Manchester United, unlike goals, after being taken back by the horse after the defeat suffered last week in West Ham. The stuttering of Chelsea continues, however, and they are only three points ahead of the Gunners, fourth. A huge victory for Unai Emery; A disturbing performance for Maurizio Sarri.

90 min +5: Barkley is booked for a descent to Guendouzi in the style of the 80s. "Koscielny has been great today," says Kari Tulinius. "He looks very nice, so I'm happy for him back from injury. As a fan of Arsenal, I am also happy because a Koscielny in great shape has to borrow a phrase, like a new signature. "

90 min +4: Chelsea caresses him. But Arsenal is holding its shape. Giroud goes from left to nobody. Leno gets together.

90 min +2: Kante is about to send Hazard back to the center of the field. But Maitland-Niles gets a nail at the collar, diverting him from danger. What an ultimate intervention!

90 min +1: It gives Chelsea a boost, and Hazard goes to the left. He moves the ball further forward for Barkley, who reaches the sideline and rolls the ball in front of the goal. On which Giroud pbades in the fresh air. It's not Chelsea Day.

89 min: It's very rambling and it's perfect for Arsenal.

87 min: Alonso will dance through the left inner channel. he beats some challenges before finally entering Koscielny and conceding a foul. An opportunity for Arsenal to manage the clock, the defender taking his time to get up, in the professional style.

85 min: Iwobi rips left. He drove to Azpilicueta before making a pbad to Elneny, who managed a powerful shot over the bar.

84 min: Torreira has put in place some changes today, and unsurprisingly falls with cramps. He gets up and will be able to continue, but expect a lot of extra time at the end of the 90s.

83 min: Space for Alonso in the lower left. He makes a loop to the far post where Hudson-Odoi is. But Kolasinac gets up and brings the quietest headers back to Leno.

81 min: Elneny plunges into the left inner cbad. Kolasinac opts for the spectacular, seeking to fly over Kepa and to move to the top right. Spotlight on ambition, and it's also a sufficient effort. He catches it well, and it distracts Rudiger. The resulting corner does not result in anything.

79 min: Pedro and Alonso combine well on the left and the latter mark a Maitland-Niles corner. Hazard bads him a long time. Alonso puts his hand on Maitland-Niles' face as they fight over the ball. No fault. Instead, it's another lost corner.

77 min: Pedro makes enough to win a Sokratis corner on the left, but he does not make the decision. He has the good grace to laugh at his own misfortune. Hazard then dribbles with reason in the right, before cutting inside and sending a crier on the bar to try to find the upper left corner.

76 min: Chelsea starts to push back Arsenal. The home team is struggling to pull themselves together. But they keep their shape and time pbades.

74 min: Barkley makes a left-right ball on Arsenal's goal, but there's no one in blue to take advantage of it.

73 min: Hazard makes a diagonal pbad to Pedro, just inside the Arsenal box on the right. Pedro takes a fresh breath at the ball. Home helpers manage a silent "yes," but their heart does not hold. The Emirates are a bit weakened after Bellerin's injury.

72 min: Pedro comes to wish Bellerin his best wishes of happiness. The poor boy has his leg in a splint and his arm on his eyes. He receives a warm and friendly ovation when he leaves the tunnel. Elneny comes in his place.

70 min: Bellerin is down and unfortunately it looks serious. There did not seem to be any contact as he was coming down alone and he immediately grabbed his left leg. He is currently being loaded on a stretcher.

68 min: Changes all around. Arsenal replaces Ramsey and Lacazette with Maitland-Niles and Iwobi, while Chelsea exchanges Willian against Giroud. A strange one from Sarri; Willian's was one of the big dangers of Chelsea tonight.

66 min: Barkley has a search that catches poor Koscielny in the fruit bowl. Ooyah, oof.

65 min: Chelsea is rocking seriously all at once. Aubameyang sends Bellerin clearly to the right. He released Lacazette in the center, waiting for the shot. But allows Rudiger to deviate the center of the corner, which leads to a corner. How is it still 2-0?

64 min: And now, Kolasinac bombards the left inner cbad and enters the Chelsea box! He has only Kepa to beat, but the angle is tight, so he looks for Torreira in the center. However, Alonso is about to make the final triumph!

63 min: First of all, Barkley replaces Kovacic. Then, Torreira takes the free kick and makes it float at the last post, where Aubameyang can not connect.

62 min: A beautiful radical movement of Arsenal, from right to left, starring Xhaka, Guendouzi and Kolasinac. Finally, Lacazette jumps down on the left and is hit by Jorginho. A free kick in a very dangerous position.

61 min: Chelsea starts to put pressure on Arsenal. Guests have trouble getting out of their last third. Willian sees a lot of balloon left; he drops a shoulder before seeing his shot blocked from the edge of the box blocked, and bounces gently towards Leno.

59 min: Hazard plays the cutest reverse in the left inner channel, releasing Kovacic in the area. Kovacic pulls one back, but Koscielny leans to cushion the cross with his chest, and Bellerin clearly belts the ball.

57 min: Willian dribbles again to the left. Upon reaching the sideline, he is stopped by the Sokratis slide. The ball hits the Chelsea winger and the Arsenal defender, clenched fists, celebrates the tackle as if another could score a goal.

56 min: His mood was almost improved as Willian sashays went down on the left and retired for Pedro, who jumped from Guendouzi. But Pedro is unleashed on the bar from the edge of the box.

55 min: Azpilicueta, on the right, pbades a diagonal pbad in the area of ​​Arsenal. But everyone in blue is on their heels and it's an easy interception for Torreira. On the sideline, Sarri continues to smoke, waving his arms and screaming against his players.

53 min: Willian finds some time and space at the bottom left. His center is deflected … except for a goal, tapping in the back of Alonso, who was taking it. Chelsea starts to look a little frustrated. "Emery justifies his tactical decision to drop Ozil when the team argues, presses, attacks and plays with such intense energy," said William Hargreaves. "Cf. Aubameyang retaliating. "

51 min: And luck is on their side too, of course. The goal of Koscielny, and now Torreira, has been horribly fought on the edge of his own court, but the ball must escape all the blue shirts nearby and fall into the grateful arms of Leno.

50 min: Willian, Hazard and Jorginho stand out. But they can not carve out an opportunity to throw, and the ball eventually gets into Leno's arms. Chelsea has had the majority of possession tonight, but Arsenal continues to look comfortable.

48 min: Hazard probes the left but there are not many options for him. He eventually fired Willian, who pbades a pbad into the cbad, waiting for Hazard to be present as well. But even the Belgian maestro can not be in two places at once.

47 min: Kolasinac goes several times to the left wing. The first opportunity sees him almost find Ramsey with a reduction, the second reported offside. Both times it was in acres. Chelsea must be wise in this regard.

Here we go again! Chelsea starts the second half. There was no change at half-time. The visitors were sent early by Maurizio Sarri, who may have advised his team during the break.

Half-time reading. At the moment, Arsenal will return to fifth place, three points behind Chelsea and Manchester United in terms of goal difference. Whatever happens in the second half, the race for Europe is getting ready.

A very satisfying first half for the Gunners, who were by far the best team. Chelsea had its moment of glory, but never really got off to a good start. They will need a big improvement in the second half to make a big comeback.

45 min +1: In the first of two additional minutes, Hazard takes the free kick at the first post, easily controlled by Koscielny. In a few seconds, the ball is back with Kepa.

45 min: Willian takes. Alonso gets up on the right corner of the penalty area and sends his head to Leno and the bottom of the left post! Arsenal hacker clearly, only to allow a free kick to the left of the area.

44 min: Hazard dribbles hard to the left, reaches the front line and bads a low center into the penalty area. Pedro can not get close to the second post. But the ball is recycled and Koscielny is forced to tie it for a corner. This set, on the right, leads to another. From which …

43 min: Chelsea gives up possession easily again. This time, it allows Lacazette to sneak into enemy territory. Chelsea is light at the back and the attacker has options on either side. But he is caught between going and shooting and ends up doing nothing. On the sidelines, Maurizio Sarri seems irritated.
