Emile Smith Rowe’s first-half effort separated both teams in London as Mikel Arteta’s men ended the Blues’ five-game unbeaten run in the top-flight
Fans are faulting Chelsea’s first-half error as Arsenal secured their first Premier League win at Stamford Bridge since October 2011 on Wednesday.
The Gunners took advantage of Jorginho’s howler in the 16th minute with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang setting up Emile Smith Rowe who tapped into an empty net to give them a 1-0 victory.
The result earned Arsenal their first league double over Chelsea since the 2003-04 season but fans were divided on social media with some questioning the team’s performance while others described it as a hard-fought win.
Mikel Arteta’s men moved up to eighth in the Premier League table with 55 points after 36 matches and Chelsea remain fourth with 64 points after the same number of games.
How did arsenal do it? 😔🤔

This is an unacceptable way to play a 90 minutes game from Arsenal. The team need to do better .#CHEARS
— Perufamous (@perufamous) May 12, 2021
I wonder how a weak Arsenal will be leading Chelsea at 86mins. I still wonder how the Gunners are able to get the better of the Blues even when they are not doing fine.#AmSurprise

Dear Tomas Tuchel, you could get sacked for losing to Arsenal. It’s sacrilegious

Seems Tuchel has made his second mistake as a @ChelseaFC coach.
No matter how much it’s still ok if we lose this game, it’s Arsenal.
You don’t start Kepa.
You play your A team.
You already rested people. It’s a cup game!
That said #KTBFFH
