It
was a great sunshine after in North-London, where host Arsenal were going to
face Chelsea, who were at the top of the table since the start of the BPL
season. Arsenals are in brilliant form since the January. They had won the consecutive
8 matches at home, which was second best record since 2005-2006, Chelsea made
only two changes in the side who last time faced united at the Stamford bridge, Wilian
replaced Zouma, while Ramires took place of Drogba, interestingly no striker in
the lineup, remie and cost were injured
while Drogba happily sat on the bench. Arsenal manager Arsene wenger
made three changes, Bringing Hector and Nacho in for Debuchy and Gibbs, and
Giroud replaced Welbeck. Arsenal had really nothing to lose while blues would
be content with draw.
The gunner had enjoyed a positive start
to the match as they continued to poke and probe their way into attack on the 9th
minute of first, Oscar went down into the penalty box. Micheal Oliver, match referee
stood in his place and continued the match, This should have been the penalty,
Interestingly, Micheal oliver managed thirteen matches of Chelsea before this
match and gave the penalty on the 17th minute. Febregas fell down in
the penalty area but the referee penalized the Fabregas and booked for diving.
The replay clear showed a contact with Santi Cazorla. At 35th
minutes of the first half Arsenal showed much more encouraging. Chilean
attacking midfielder played a ball through air to pick out of the run of
bellerian on the right, who volleyed a sensational passed into the Centre but
cahill fearlessly dived to block the shot of Cazorla. After few minutes Wilian
run inside and passed a great through ball to fellow Brazilian, who could not
execute well and hit straight to Ospina. Both teams tried their best to drop
the first blood but failed at a half time.
During the second half both team ensure not conceal any goal. Chelsea enjoyed a
good possession as Arsenal were happy to sit back and hit them on encounter.in
the last 10 minutes Arsenal put a pressure on Chelsea but their back four stood
firm and made a mistake, The referee blew the final whistle . Both teams were
happy to get a single point. This is the first time Chelsea dropped a point
away from home since the defeat to Tottenham at whit hart lane on the first day
of the year.
