Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea: Player Ratings as Arsenal Win London Derby | OneFootball

Arsenal defeated Chelsea at home in the Premier League capturing all three points in a London derby.

Fresh off of advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals, Arsenal came into the game having not won in a month domestically. Despite having three fit attackers, Mikel Arteta still went with Mikel Merino as a makeshift striker up top flanked by Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli. The decision paid off as the Spaniard scored from a corner 20 minutes in. The goal was Arsenal's first from a set piece in the league since December.

Chelsea sans Cole Palmer were poor in attack as they struggled to create clear opportunities. Marc Cucurella nearly scored again, but a save from David Raya saw the ball trickle just behind for a corner. It was a physical affair with six yellow cards handed out during the game.
