This early goal set the tone for what was to be a night of relentless pressure and spectacular football from the Gunners. Trossard, with his agility and sharpness, proved to be a thorn in Chelsea’s defense throughout the match.

Chelsea’s Struggle

Chelsea’s response was lackluster, showcasing a performance marred by frustration and inefficacy which was evident from the two yellow cards they received towards the end of the first half.

  • Alfie Gilchrist and Marc Cucurella’s bookings for a foul and time wasting respectively, were clear indicators of a team struggling to keep up with the tempo set by their opponents.

Arsenal’s Brilliance

Arsenal’s momentum didn’t drop as the second half unfolded. Ben White’s goal in the 52nd minute further cemented their superiority, and what followed was a masterclass by Kai Havertz, who netted twice in a span of 8 minutes.
