This was a good victory. Especially when you consider how rough Chelsea were. They came to beat us up, and this version of Arsenal doesn’t wilt under physical pressure. Rice, Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, Partey, Merino. Units.

    Claudius -- I'd even add Odegaard now.

    He's much leaner now, and has accepted the physicality of the game. Not to say he won't get hurt, but he isn't bothered by games like this compared to two seasons ago (when he noticeably shied away against a physical Liverpool).

      Burnwinter he wasn’t hired for his football history knowledge. Probably also dazed from running around with Rice who always looks bigger, fitter, stronger than anyone else on the field

        this was definitely one of the games of all time

        lorddulaarsenal Based on that it's a rare but not unknown instance of a footballer's transfer fee exceeding his IQ. Not gonna compile a complete list in case someone gets upset I put Darwin on it

            Burnwinter I missed the match but seen a few comments on social media from Chelsea fans who seem to think the match is somehow a reflection of how closely matched the teams are.

            Apart from Reiss Nelson not a single player from 7 years ago still plays for us....
