5) A smaller point on Arteta and his conduct in and around the technical area: it is fascinating how no other manager seems to challenge him on it by either doing the same or by doing the grown-up thing and telling the fourth official., remained within his confines as the embodiment of his subdued, domineered team, while the Spanish alpha roamed Stamford Bridge freely. Little wonder when he last lost there as a player or manager in March 2014.
Another Chelsea attack petered out into nothing and the visitors seamlessly transitioned into a glorious salvo of one-touch passing involving White, Gabriel, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saliba and Thomas Partey, culminating in Gabriel Martinelli’s tantalising cross which the unmarked Jesus could not quite properly connect with.
It was good refereeing born of poor – and increasingly worrying – officiating. Saka justifiably felt he had been unfairly obstructed by Marc Cucurella as he sought to break down the right, but nothing was given. A matter of seconds later, the winger bundled his Chelsea counterpart over out of frustration.
Coaching contretemps are the lifeblood of the Premier League, where touchline handshakes are sacrosanct and feuds keep the news cycle spinning. But not even a hint of manager discord should really distract from the actual game. The controversy can wait a couple of more seconds, at least until the ball is actually out of play.11) It felt as though Arsenal would be made to regret not capitalising on their dominance.
It was the headline moment to a performance from Gabriel and central defensive partner Saliba which provided. The pair were effortless and imperious, repelling first Aubameyang and then Broja with immense ease. Partey deserves a mention as the fulcrum ahead of them, while White and Oleksandr Zinchenko were close to faultless either side.
