Arsenal pulls the board and David Raya against Chelsea

Arsenal beat Chelsea (2-1) this Sunday on matchday 28 of the Premier to get five points with Manchester City in the lead, with one more game, while Manchester United rose to third place with a 2-1 against Crystal Palace.

Mikel Arteta’s men won another London derby, like last week against Tottenham, to maintain their cushion and respond to City’s pursuit. The Spanish coach’s scoreboard worked in the two goals for the locals to the delight of the Emirates, although David Raya was also vital between the sticks.

The Spanish goalkeeper stopped the last one from Alejandro Garnacho, with a poster effort already in stoppage time, and held back a Chelsea that pressed despite being left with 10 due to two yellow cards for Pedro Neto and was relegated to sixth position. The leader hit with William Saliba and Jurrien Timber in two corner kicks, while the visitors’ equalizer also came from a corner before the break.

On the other hand, United came back against Palace from the penalty and expulsion of Maxence Lacroix on the hour mark, who had made it 0-1 for London at the start. Bruno Fernandes equalized and Benjamin Sesko made it 2-1 with which the Red Devils placed third, with 51 points like Aston Villa, in the tight fight for the Champions zone against Liverpool (48) and Chelsea (45).

Furthermore, Tottenham, Atlético de Madrid’s rival in the Champions League round of 16, went on to play its tenth game without winning in the Premier League, four points above relegation. The ‘Spurs’, without reaction with Igor Tudor on the bench, gave in to Fulham with goals from Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi in the first half.
