Arsenal vs Chelsea Live Updates: Premier League 2022-23 Arsenal beat Chelsea 3-1, take league lead for now
Arsenal
kept the Premier League title fight alive by beating up on a Chelsea team that
seems to be in need of life support under Frank Lampard. Arsenal returned to
the top of the standings — for a day at least — by dismantling Chelsea 3-1 at
the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday to end a four-game winless run that saw its
control of the title race slip away.
The
Gunners channelled their disappointment over last week's 4-1 loss to rival
Manchester City into a dominant first-half display, going 3-0 up inside 34
minutes as Chelsea slumped to a sixth straight loss in all competitions under
Lampard.
Arsenal vs
Chelsea: Team news
Despite being the dominant team in London, Arsenal's first significant title challenge in several years has gone awry. They have dropped nine points in their last four games and are currently one point behind Manchester City, who has a match in hand, with only a few games left to play. However, playing Chelsea could be what Arsenal needs to keep their title hopes alive, especially with the absence of key defender William Saliba, whose six-match absence.
