Arsenal returned to winning ways at the expense of local rivals Chelsea.

Arsenal, who had played a brilliant season, had lost their grip on the Premier League championship in a streak of four matches without a win.
When it had still culminated in a 1-4 loss to Manchester City, who took first place, many were afraid of what kind of motivation the Gunners would have for the rest of the season.
The fear was unwarranted. Of course, it was helped by Chelsea, who are in an incomprehensible downward spiral, who actually donated For Martin Ødegaard two draws for the first 30 minutes. The Norwegian talent bombed as many goals.
Captain Ødegaard’s entire season reflects well on Arsenal. The 24-year-old midfield general would definitely be worthy of the league’s best player title. The only but comes from being a countryman Erling Haaland has just appeared even more sparkling.
In the same way, Arsenal’s season will be remembered as a great one. It can still reach the same 90 points with which the club won the championship last time.
That Arsène Wenger’s led by the combination did not lose once during the season and is widely regarded as one of the greatest in Premier League history. Current manager Mikel Arteta has probably built a better team, but unfortunately only the level of demands has risen even more.
Manchester City has been clearly stronger in the spring knockout rounds.
Madueke narrowed it down
Tuesday’s local match against Chelsea was already decided before the half-time whistle. Gabriel Jesus the basque hammer of a real willful goal Kepan behind his back, and there was no longer any doubt about the winner.
In the second period, even Arsenal could afford to take their foot off the gas. Chelsea interim manager Frank Lampard is on his way to a dubious record. He has now lost all six matches he has led by a combined goal difference of 2–12.

The 21-year-old oak acquisition brought a little comfort to the Sininen’s shipwreck Noni Madueke, who completed his first goal in a Chelsea shirt. He forced the ball into the net Oleksandr Zinchenko despite objections.
However, Madueke also knows what the spirit of the game is. In the summer, a major cleaning is done at Chelsea, where the future of every player is threatened.
Chelsea’s relegation is a sad testament to what happens when players’ hearts are no longer in the game.
Arsenal moved back to the top of the Premier League thanks to the derby win, but they now have two more games to play than City, who are two points behind.
The Sky Blues will probably take the top spot back to themselves on Wednesday, when they face West Ham, who have drifted into the relegation battle, at home.
