The Blues were powerless in their efforts against the Gunners, prompting a momentum from their manager after the match.
Maurizio Sarri criticized his Chelsea players after losing 2-0 to Arsenal, saying his players are "very difficult to motivate".
Chelsea's bottom line began frantically in the Emirates, giving up possession of the ball several times before the fine finish of Alexandre Lacazette paid him.
The Gunners had a little luck for their second goal, a lobed center pbading in front of Laurent Koscielny's shoulder while he was trying to get home.

Anyway, Chelsea looked flat and predictable, and his manager chose to speak in Italian, his native country, so that his words were as clear as possible.
"I have to say that I am extremely angry because this defeat was a mentality," Sarri told the press.
"They were much more determined than us and I can not accept that. It was similar to Spurs – I spoke to the players and I thought it was solved.
"I want to talk about tactics, but it seems that this group of players is very difficult to motivate.
"I think when you see this type of game where a team is more determined, you can not talk about tactics. Their level of determination was much better than ours throughout the match.
Pushed further on why he can not reach his team, he said, "It's a hard question to answer.
"It seems like they're not mentally aggressive enough – it's about their personality and it's hard to change.
"You have to influence them and this could be due to the arrival of a new player or the takeover of one of the former leaders.

"I do not think that a player of this level can be afraid of baduming his responsibilities. The best thing that can happen is that the players and I speak very openly.
"I am the person responsible for the players and it is important that they have the right attitude. If they can not reach that goal, then maybe they should not play at that level. "
Despite Saturday's loss, Chelsea remain three points ahead of Arsenal in fourth and must now prepare for a FA Cup clash with Tottenham on Thursday.
