Arsenal, who was in a slump in the English Premier League, defeated strong Chelsea and won the game in eight games.
This is reporter Kim Jung-woo.
Arsenal’s firepower, which wasn’t worth the name with 0.8 goals per game this season, has been on fire after a long time.
In the 34th minute of the first half, Arsenal took the lead with Lacazette’s opening goal from the penalty kick, and 10 minutes later, Zaka’s picturesque free kick took the lead.
Arsenal scored two goals in the first half for the first time this season, and in the second half of the year, Saka scored a surprise right-footed shot.
The goalkeeper got stuck in an exquisite surprise roving shot.
Arsenal, who won 3-1, ended the sluggishness of 2 draws and 5 losses in recent 7 games and climbed one stair to 14th, while Chelsea, who are busy going to the lead, fell two steps to 7th.
The great marriage at the top continued.
Everton defeated Sheffield 1-0 and rose to 2nd place alone, while Leicester City and Manchester United, who drew 2-2, went down one step at a time to 3rd and 4th place respectively.
Leicester City drew a dramatic draw in the 31st minute, when Harvey Barnes fired a powerful mid-range artillery gun in the first half of the game, and Jamie Bard’s shot hit the opponent and led to an own goal in the 40th minute behind the game.
Manchester City beat Newcastle and climbed to 5th place, and Son Heung-min’s Tottenham, who fell to 8th place, aims to re-leap to the top in the Wolverhampton game tomorrow (28th).
