Arsenal vs Chelsea: The Blues Set Unwanted Record During Emirates Humiliation

• Chelsea suffered a 5-0 defeat during their trip to Arsenal on Tuesday night
• Kai Havertz and Ben White scored a brace each to guide Arsenal to victory
• The Blues will be back in action on Saturday when they will face Aston Villa

It has emerged that Chelsea set two unwanted records during their 5-0 humiliating defeat against rivals Arsenal on Tuesday night.

The Blues have been underwhelming this season under Mauricio Pochettion, with the west London side managing just 13 wins in 32 outings.

The 2021 Champions League winners lost 1-0 against Manchester City in the FA Cup last weekend and were hoping to bounce back to winning ways when they faced the Gunners at the Emirates.

However, Pochettion's charges went on to record a dismal performance, with the hosts putting five goals past them.

Arsenal opened a three-point gap between them and Liverpool, who are second in the PL table, with goals from Leandro Trossard, Ben White {two}, and Kai Havertz {two} solidifying their place in the race for the PL title.

Despite not having a stable striking force this season, Chelsea’s uninspired defence caused them big time and that was laid bare during their match against Arsenal.

Chelsea set two unwanted records

With six games to play, Chelsea have now conceded a record 57 goals in a single campaign. This is the most they have allowed in years, per Metro UK.

Additionally, the Blues have only managed six clean sheets and are in 13th place for the club that allowed the most goals in their net. Brentford, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, West Ham, Burnley, Luton and Sheffield United are the only clubs that have conceded more goals than Chelsea.

The loss the Pochettino men suffered on Tuesday was the worst in all the 209 meetings between the two clubs.

The Argentine, in an after-match press conference, defended his players saying that they are doing everything to avoid such scenarios in the future.

“No. There are different circumstances. It is an experience we need to make sure it doesn’t happen in the future. The club is building a new project, a new way to operate,” he said.
