Some might argue that there were no winners nor losers in a match ending in a dramatic 2-2 draw which both sides will feel to an extent that two more points could have been won. But I certainly feel that it will be seen as a point gained for the Gunners and there were plenty of positives amongst a number of concerns on Saturday evening at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal continued their unbeaten run thanks to goals from Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard in dramatic fashion to break Blues hearts. There will certainly be question marks that we aim to discuss here, but in the end, there will be appreciation above all for the effort to get back into the game.
With that said, it’s time for your football.london winners and losers from Chelsea vs Arsenal. There are plenty of candidates but we think we’ve got the right ones.
This is why you spend £100-million-plus on a player, it’s as simple as that. Forget the goal for a moment and just consider the performance because whilst Jorginho and Martin Odegaard disappointed, it was up to Declan Rice to stand up and effectively take on Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Connor Gallagher by himself and he did and I’d argue he won.
But… let’s talk about that goal. Yes, the mistake from Robert Sanchez is obvious but let us not pretend like Rice has not got a lot to do when the ball lands at his feet.
Incredible intuition and then execution to match. If Arsenal go all the way this season, Rice will without a doubt be at the very centre of it.
