Right after his interview on his club and national team future, Eddie Nketiah scores in the next game. Good omen.

On a more serious note, Nketiah has a quality that might be uncoachable and is certainly a natural trait that elevates any striker. He is always there or thereabouts when the ball is breaking or deflecting. When it happens as often as it does with him it can't be luck.

Going into this Premier League encounter, Arsenal players knew that a win would be of great help in their top four chase, and they did themselves lots of good.

Chelsea won the first fixture 2-0 at the Emirates stadium with Romelu Lukaku and Reece James netting the two goals, but they were unable to win this time around in front of their fans.
