Xhaka assisted twice in Arsenal’s winning derby

Arsenal have sent a powerful message about life in the Premier League title race. After four games without a win, the Gunners won the London derby against Chelsea 3-1.

Arsenal set the stage for their well-deserved home win with Martin Odegaard’s brace (18/31) and Gabriel Jesus’ (34) goal in the first half. As usual, Granit Xhaka played the whole game in the center of the Arsenal field, providing an assist in the first two goals.

Arsenal are back in first place

With this win, Arsenal retained a slim chance of winning the title. Coach Mikel Arteta’s team will once again take the lead, at least for one night. The in-form Manchester City, two points behind in two games, could react again to a home game against West Ham on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the case of Chelsea, who played without Denis Zakaria, does not subside. It was the sixth defeat for the 12th-placed Blues since former manager Frank Lampard took over as interim manager. For the first time since the 1987/88 season, Chelsea lost 20 matches in a season.
