Mikel Merino’s first half header was enough to solve Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Chelsea in Feisty and a tense super Sunday derby in London.
Merino headed to the set of Martin Odegaard in near the post after 20 minutes, while Gunners ended up a long drought without a goal from the corner.
Previously, 51 attempted attempts from reaching their last corner goal on January 15 against Spurs, and that goal represented their goals in the season in the 15th corner.
Arsenal was worthy of his leadership and may have been outraged not to pull out a penalty from Marc Cucurella handball before the opener.
They were dominated by Chelsea, which slowly triggers up to 35 minutes, when Cucurella almost passed through David Ray and in the end corner, to the relief of the Arsenal goalkeeper.
Spicy second half saw less chances because seven yellow tickets were taken out. Sanchez denied Merina for a second, saving in close to post -linen -before Odegaard denied another good stop.
Chelsea, who was without Cole Palmer on Friday due to injury on the field, offered only one tame Cucurella header in the ground, because their only goal was in the second period.
Both teams – who started the game without recognized no. In the 9th, they showed their need for additional quality ahead of one goal of 20 blows between them.
The result moves Arsenal nine points above Chelsea in fifth place and reduces – or maybe lightweight lining – Liverpool’s leadership at the top of up to 12 points, and the league leaders participated in the Carabao Cup final with Newcastle, live at Sky Sports at 16.30.
