Arsenal leader Mikel Arththa put questionable praise to Chelsea after Sunday’s London derby between the sides, for which he may have hoped to improve his team’s victory.
Gunners got into the game, they only took two points from the previous nine on offer to drop as many as 15 points behind the Liverpool Premier League leaders.
Since Nottingham Forest moved to one point of Arsenal and Chelsea on Saturday with a chance to close the gap on three that they had won at the Emirates Stadium, it was critical for Arthtu’s side to win the Zajnjanj.
They just did that Thanks to the lone header from the first half from the stand-in-per-Mikel Merino. Overall, the game was missing quality on both sides and it was more than a little bizarre to hear what Arththa had said after that about Chelsea.
“I think we deserved to win the match,” said Arsenal chief BBC Sport.
“I think we were a better team. We didn’t admit a single [chances] In addition to the unusual rescue of David [Raya] In the first half against the team that, in my opinion, is the best attack team in the league – in the way they set, the patterns they have and the quality they have. “
It is the characterization of Chelsea as the best that a premier league can offer that can raise eyebrows. The Blues have reached 53 goals of the league so far, now the same product of Arsenal. It is certainly a good return, but Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City (both 55) achieved more often, while Liverpool raised high divisions 69.
Chelsea also launched a second attack in this game, forced to play without their three best and most reliable attackers: Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke.
Asked why Arsenal can no longer make its entire dominance, Arththa has put it on “lack of wealth, a lack of a final passage and a real decision when the situation was so open.
“We had so many of them, but unfortunately, we didn’t finish them. The international break … Let us breathe and bring some players back, ideally,” he said, referring to the constant absence of the absence of Talisman Bukayo Saka separately.
