A late penalty from Bukayo Saka secured a 4-2 win for Arsenal away to Chelsea
LONDON -- Few managers can have enjoyed three vital points, four goals and a triumph at the home of their great rivals with quite as little visible delight as Mikel Arteta did tonight. For most of Arsenal's 4-2 win over Chelsea, he had the expression of a man who had just been informed he would have to fill out his tax reform whilst undergoing root canal surgery.
"The guy who invented this game, he wanted to make us suffer," said Arteta. That he did on Wednesday.
And yet his side have hurled back into the Champions League race and ended a three-game losing streak that was threatening to be terminal for their hopes of finishing fourth. It might still be anyway, but it is clear on Wednesday night's evidence that they will not let Tottenham take fourth without a fight.
