From the start of the match, there was an attack-counter-attack. Arsenal dominated a bit. They were ahead in possession of the ball. However, in the first 45 minutes, the team could not create many significant opportunities.


Arsenal got the first chance in the tenth minute of the match. But Ben White's curling shot from Gabriel Jesus' pass went just wide of the far post. They had the best chance of the half in the 29th minute. This time the Brazilian striker goes out near the head post of Jesus.

After two consecutive draws, Chelsea's first-half performance here was modest as they were beaten 4-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion in the last round. Especially their attacks were without edge.

In the 62nd minute, Jesus entered the D-box from the right side and took a shot at the goalkeeper from an awkward angle. The ball hits the goalkeeper and goes over the byline.

Arsenal went ahead from that corner. Bukayo Saka's great corner, the ball evaded everyone in the goal and was going to net with one drop. What was a little uncertainty, the Brazilian defender Gabriel removed it with a small tap.
