What do we learn from the match between Chelsea and Arsenal?

CHELSEA 2-0 ARSENAL

The match between the in-form Chelsea and visiting Arsenal ended in a 2-0 win for Chelsea. It was a convincing performance by Chelsea. And there was some interesting incident between Mourinho and Wenger.

Mourinho and Wenger had to be separated

Wenger was frustrated on Gary Cahill's aggressive challenge on Alexis Sanchez that prompted Wenger to enter Mourinho technical area and laid his hands on the Mourinho's chest when Mourinho told him to just go back to his own technical area.

Wenger responded with a little shove and both of them has to be separated by the fourth official.


What a waste, it will be interesting to see if Mourinho responded with a punch on Wenger's face.

That action from Wenger shows the rivalry between the Portuguese and Wenger has become more intense. In February, Mourinho branded Arsene Wenger as a ' specialist in failure' and even refuse to apologize for his word. Well, that is kinda true considering the fact that Wenger has never won a single game against Mourinh
o in 11 meetings.

In the match yesterday, Arsenal don't even have a single shot on target. Lack of killer instinct, imagination and creativity. Welbeck was no where to be seen until in the stoppage time when he lunged a 2-footed tackle on Fabregas. Ozil and Sanchez had a quite game.

 While Diego Costa and Fabregas both combining well to score for Chelsea second goal, they were not at his best yesterday considering they were on fire for the past few weeks.

So, who was really the match winner?

It was Eden Hazard. He linked well with Oscar and Azpiliqueta on the left side and his blistering pace often caused danger for Arsenal defense.

And, out of sudden, he toyed with the Arsenal defence to dribbled in the middle and almost clean through on goal has he had not been fouled by Koscielny that lead to the penalty kick. He took the penalty and calmly slotted it and send the keeper the wrong way.

Throughout the 90 minutes, Hazard was up and down the pitch to help his team when Chelsea lose possession. And, when Chelsea was on the counter, Hazard was looking the most dangerous player in the Chelsea side.

Generally, Hazard was the saver that day when Fabregas and Costa had a quite game.

So, what do we learn from the match?

-Arsenal need a world-class striker that can convert a half-chance into a goal. And probably, a midfielder just like Fabregas ( ouch!)

-Chelsea are not over-reliant on the Spanish duo. Some criticize that Chelsea are over-dependent on Costa and Fabregas where the fact it was Hazard and Oscar that shined this time.




-Chelsea dont have to worry when one of their goalkeepers get injured. Chelsea have 2 world class goalkeeper. Cech will be eager to regained his spot between the stick as he looks comfortable as always. Courtouis need to watch out!
