Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have continued their dominance over Chelsea after securing a 2-1 victory in Sunday’s Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.
The result means that Chelsea have gone more than five years without a win over their north London rivals, with their last success coming on August 22, 2021, when Thomas Tuchel’s men secured a 2 to 0 victory.
Since then, the Blues have had several managers, but none of them has been able to beat Arsenal.
The News Chronicle reports that Graham Potter, Frank Lampard, Mauricio Pochettino, Enzo Maresca, Liam Rosenior, and the current coach, Xabi Alonso, have failed to beat Arteta’s side.
In addition, Alonso’s team failed to beat Arsenal for the first time in his managerial career, with the Gunners grabbing all three points in a closely fought Super Sunday clash.
The result will undoubtedly frustrate Alonso’s players even more, as it will be yet another defeat at their London rivals’ hands.
On the other hand, the result will be another confidence booster for Arteta, who continues to amass an impressive record against his local rivals, and it will serve as a psychological edge for him and his men ahead of the next fixture.
