Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal: 5 Reasons Why Maurizio  Sarri got the better of Unai Emery's side

#2 Chelsea's runners from the deep

Chelsea v Arsenal - Premier League

Arsenal started the game with a high line and Chelsea played this to their advantage, by scoring two well-taken goals. Chelsea players regularly ran in from deep, while Jorginho and Luiz tried to find them with long balls from the back. Barkley did this quite well on more than one occasions and even Kante got the better of the Gunners' defence a couple of times.

This was especially evident in Chelsea’s second goal when Morata took advantage of Arsenal’s high line and ran on to receive Azpilicueta’s long ball over the defence and put the ball past a hapless Cech. In the second half, Arsenal stopped keeping a high line and looked stronger in defence.

Yet, Chelsea continued to push men forward, running the lines and trying to find the gaps. Ultimately, it was Alonso running in from the left back position, who latched on to Hazard’s pass and scored the winner.
