London is RED, and frankly, 2-1 flatters Chelsea massively. After conceding an early shocker in the opening minute, Arsenal completely seized control of the pitch, dictated the tempo, and suffocated…
It was a domination of a performance from Arsenal.
I'm so, so impressed with that, especially after going behind early, so early.
I think it took us all by shock.
I was trying to make sense of what I just saw.
It was just over 1.30 a.m. in the morning that I was watching in bed on my tablet and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
And look, these things happen.
It's the nature of football.
I jokingly said a few days ago that it was kind of scripted that Morgan Rodgers would score, and I'm kind of expecting the same next weekend with the young man who's just joined Sunderland, Fofana.
But anyway, all jokes aside, I mean, it's a cracking goal.
It's an excellent strike.
There's question marks over, you know, could we have handled it better? Did Konza need to turn around? Could White have handled it better? But sometimes these things happen.
It's just the random nature of football.
And Morgan Rodgers has shown himself to be someone who can strike the ball cleanly from outside the box.
That low XG chance converter that is so elusive in today's football.
It happens.
Fair enough.
1-0 to Chelsea.
And it was all about Arsenal from there.
It was all about our response.
How are we going to handle the temperature of a game like that? And going behind so early, we knew the threat that Chelsea posed, their attack.
It's been so much hyped up, I feel, over the last few days.
I hadn't really heard of the banking analogies until a day or two ago.
JP Morgan and so on.
But it was up to Arsenal to answer that.
And we absolutely did.
