8 pi Arsenal goes a long way, this time with Gabriel playing the long ball over Aubameyang. The attacker does it well but has no one with him to support him and cannot do anything with it.

6 pi Chilwell walks away from Holding and places the ball in Pulisic in front of him on the left. There are no Chelsea players in the box, so he takes it out for Mount, who hits a low shot early on goal, but it’s straight to Leno.

4 pi It’s Chelsea’s turn to keep possession now and they keep the visitors in their own half. It’s a patient game on their part as they try to open up some space behind Arsenal.
