Mikel Arteta’s wards won an easy victory in the London derby and once again lead the Premier League.
Arsenal will face Chelsea in the London derby with confidence. “Gunners” in the 34th minute of the match got a comfortable advantage of three goals. The Blues were only able to answer this with a prestige ball in the performance of Noni Madueke, who took advantage of a mistake by the Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Note that the latter went into the match in the starting lineup and played 73 minutes. In turn, Chelsea winger Mikhail Mudryk was on the bench and appeared on the field in the 71st minute.
