#2 Arsenal's defensive issues

Chelsea v Arsenal - Premier League
New manager. Same defensive woes

There was nothing Arsenal could do to stop Chelsea forwards and full-backs today. Pedro and Morata was having the time of their lives and so was Marcos Alonso. The Spanish trio were running rings around the Gunners and creating chances with ease.

Alonso and Pedro combined for the first goal after a delicious ball from Jorginho found the Chelsea left-back in acres of space behind Bellerin. He slotted the ball to Pedro who was alone in the Arsenal box as the other defenders had just spotted him and were making the move. Before they could do anything, the ball hit the back of the net.

Similarly, playing a very high line saw Morata put through by Azpilicueta. Only Mustafi managed to get to the Spanish striker but was unable to stop him from scoring.

Bellerin was exposed once again after Hazard eased past Mkhitaryan and got to the edge of the box. The defender was not able to stop the cross in and Alonso slipped into the goal.
