The first blow to one of the two gates came only in the second 30 of the match. In their first attack of the match, the Arsenal team even shot Mandy. After a cross from the right, Thiago Silva did not clear well and the ball hit Gabriel Martinelli, who had no preparation and sent the leather ball.
In the opening minutes of the match, the Arsenal team definitely had a slight territorial advantage, as the hosts managed to reach two corners, which, however, did not pose a danger to the Chelsea guard.
In the 13th minute came the first excellent opportunity for Chelsea. The guests took a direct free kick, which Mason-Mount assumed. The Englishman technically fired into the left corner of the gate, but sadly the ball bounced off the side post.
Chelsea continued to increase the pressure on her opponent, who often made mistakes when passing the ball. After a cross from a corner, the “blues” got a new good opportunity, but Kurt Zuma shot his head away from the door.
Mason Mount tried his luck again in the 30th minute, but this time his shot was well off goal.
The result of the match opened in the 33rd minute, when the locals reached a penalty. Kieran Tierney was fouled by Reese James after his break from the left, and referee Michael Oliver pointed to the white spot. The situation was reviewed by the VAR, but finally the judge’s decision was not reversed. Behind the ball was Alexander Lacazette, who was ruthless 1: 0.
Seconds before regulation time of the first half, Mikel Arteta’s students made their second blow. The hosts reached a direct free kick in front of Chelsea, and behind the ball was the granite of Jaca. The Swiss shot in a fantastic way and hit the ball in the upper left corner of the gate, leaving the goalkeeper of the “blue” Mandy defenseless.
The second half started even better for Arsenal. The hosts scored a third goal in the goal of their rival, and the curious thing is that it came with the third accurate shot of the ‘Gunners’. The third goal of the match fell in the 55th minute somewhat surprisingly. Saka got into the penalty area on the right and tried to cross down the left wing. His pass did not work, but on the other hand he effectively crashed into the whole of the gate, astonishing the Chelsea goalkeeper.
In the 64th minute, Chelsea’s nightmare could have gotten even worse. Gabriel Martinelli took the ball in midfield and immediately combined with his teammate, who broke from the left and returned the leather ball to Martinelli on the edge of the penalty area. He fired right away, but this time Mandy managed to save and avoid a fourth goal.
Only in the 80th minute did the Chelsea guests manage to do something interesting against Arsenal. Hudson Odi broke well down the right and crossed dangerously into the penalty area, where Rami Abraham shot with his head, but over the gate.
Chelsea still found the strength to return one of the goals. The visitors scored through Tammy Abraham three minutes before the end. The attacker scored with his chest after a cross from the right. The goal was initially disallowed after the wing referee raised an ambush flag, and his decision was respected by Michael Oliver. After reviewing the situation with the help of the VAR, the goal was still counted.
In the minutes until the end, Frank Lampard’s team tried to make their loss more palatable in digital terms, and Thiago Silva missed an excellent opportunity to sign. The Brazilian shot with his head, but inaccurately.
In the continuation of the match, Chelsea received a penalty after Marie fouled Mason Mount. Giorgino took the lead but performed poorly and allowed Bernd Leno to attack his shot.
