Boxing Day turned out to be more than happy for Arsenal. The Gunners eventually won, not just anyone, but one of Chelsea’s title contenders. The North London team won 3: 1 over the “blues” in the derby on matchday 15 of the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta’s team was in a seven-game nightmare series in the championship without a win. The Gunners’ last success was on November 1 against Manchester United. The weak series put Arteta’s future on the line, though management vowed they would continue to trust him. After today’s success of “Emirates”, you can get some serious rest.
At guest camp, however, things don’t look like this. In today’s victory, Chelsea came second. Instead, the team collapsed to sixth place with 25 points. According to speculation, manager Frank Lampard’s future is by no means clear. In anything other than winning the next round against Aston Villa, the young specialist can be fired.

Arsenal – Chelsea, 3: 1, “Gunners” beat “Blues” on Boxing Day
The hosts need a win
Today’s game was under the total control of Arsenal. In minute 2, the locals had a chance through Martinelli, who uncovered in the area and fired, but inaccurate. In the 13th minute, Chelsea hit the crossbar. Mason Mount threw a free throw from a promising distance, but sent the ball to the right post.
In the 25th minute, Belerin entered the penalty area and shot parallel to the goal to Smith Rowe, who nevertheless missed the ball from around the penalty spot.
In the 33rd minute, the Gunners had the opportunity to take a penalty. Tierney fell into the penalty area after contact with James and after the intervention of the VAR, the penalty was confirmed. Behind the white point was Lacazette, who uncompromisingly made it 1: 0.
Shortly before the end of time, the hosts were already leading 2-0. Granit Jaka took a perfect free kick and put the ball right into the goal. Thus, the Swiss managed to apologize to the fans for his stupid red card against Burnley.
In the second half, the “blues” tried to respond to the pressure. In the 56th minute, however, Arteta’s team scored another goal. Bunayo Saka demonstrated unique technique and self-confidence as from the right of the penalty area, from a small angle he made a transfer shot to the stunned Mandy, who did not intervene at all.
In the end, the “blues” managed to seriously upset the “gunners”.
In the 85th minute, a Tammy Abraham goal was initially disallowed by an ambush, but after the VAR intervened, the referee admitted it. In the last minute of regulation time, Frank Lampard’s team received the right to take a penalty after a violation by Marie against Mount.
