London England.
He Arsenal regained faith and leadership at the cost of a disappointing and embarrassing Chelsea that already adds six consecutive defeats since the arrival of Frank Lampard to the bench (3-1).
That is why the Emirates Stadium made fun of the ‘Blues’ as much as possible, dismissing them with the chant of ‘You Are Going Down’ and ‘Super Frankie Lampard’, making fun of the English coach, who only knows the defeat in his second spell in a Chelsea that plays as if it were relegated and that has lost any kind of competitive spirit.
The goals by Martin Odegaard, twice, and by Gabriel Jesús, fattened the anxiety backpack of a Chelsea that has not known victory since March 11 and will not be relegated, but is on its way to completing its worst season since 93/ 94, when they were fourteenth, but far from the multi-million dollar investment that they have put on the table in the last year.
Because this Chelsea is even capable of resurrecting an Arsenal that came from four punctures in a row and leaving practically the entire league at the Etihad Stadium. And even so they ended up ‘olés’ against Chelsea, with an exhibition by Odegaard, who scored two precise shots at the first touch, both from Granit Xhaak’s center.
Two shots that highlighted the captain’s commitment, showing his face at the most difficult moment of the season, to put a game on track that had no history, because in half an hour it was already over. After the whiplash of Odegaard, who has fourteen goals this season, the third came, in a racket in the area in which Arsenal hit a dying Chelsea. It was Gabriel Jesús, the one who with his rival on the ground, gave the finishing touch.
And the chants of the Chelsea fans fell silent, turning off their “you’re not going to win shit”, so that the jokes of the Arsenal.
Between olés, wishes for relegation and an optimist “we are leaders, we are leaders”, the ‘Gunners’ regained confidence and faith in fighting for the league against Manchester City, which is two points below in the table, but has two games less . Mikel Arteta’s men have to play against Newcastle United, Brighton, Nottingham Forest y Wolves.
He Chelseawho at least scored through Noni Madueke an inert second goal of the era Lampard, is twelfth, with 39 points, nine from relegation with five games to go. They are almost saved, but that does not prevent it from being one of the saddest seasons for those at Stamford Bridge and that Lampard’s return remains just another disaster for the management of this team.
