I have been seeing it all over social media since the match ended. As much as it’s entertaining to banter other clubs, it doesn’t tell the full story. Arsenal were struggling today against 10 men, it’s a miracle that they didn’t throw the points away. We can banter Chelsea all week, but I rather much prefer to see Arsenal lifting the trophy rather than having Chelsea in their pocket so to speak.

There's no kind of stunt that social media doesn't pull. The picture is actually funny, but it would have been funnier if the woman was replaced by Chelsea's coach or their hit player (Palmer).
In as much that I want Arsenal to win the league overall, winning Chelsea is also a legacy they need to maintain in order to keep the noisy blues mute.
Talking about winning the EPL, winning Chelsea today is a big leap towards winning the English Premier League.
The appointed time has come, so Arsenal needs to be more determined and serious this time around because the story won't be nice if they miss EPL title again this year.

This season, Arsenal has owned Chelsea in every department, first when they met in the league earlier on, Arsenal won them and Chelsea thought it was a mistake. They later met in the Carabao cup Semi final first leg, Arsenal still won them. They thought they could do a comeback in the competition only to be beaten again in the return leg 1 - 0 at the dead of the match. Just today, they thought they could cause an upset in the Emirates, soon they found themselves trailing but restored parity just before the half, although they had opportunities to score in the second half but missed their chances and Arsenal took advantage of one of their corners as usual to slot home a goal that was finally the winner. Chelsea this season has encountered Arsenal 4x this season and lost all 4 matches to the same opponent in the same campaign.

There is nothing left to be done to Chelsea this season, so because Arsenal managed to bag a weak win today against Chelsea is it why they have turned to Arsenal's bride suddenly, on that game we all know if not for the god of soccer Arsenal won't have been able to win in the game even when Chelsea where one man down  which stands as a clear indication that Chelsea had what it takes to win if not for the Red card. All I will just say is for Arsenal to enjoy as today is there day tomorrow may not be. Celebrating because they won in today's game never justify that they have won the English Premier league this season as I know there sorrowful days are yet to come because Manchester City will be happy to capitalise of there mistakes and will be watching them till that day comes .

[Just Say]

Literally, it seems Arsenal secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Chelsea in Round 28 with a masterclass performance but it surprised me that all the goals in this game came from corners, the main point is that this highly competitive match is proving how these two teams will fare in the upcoming Champions League Round of 16. We noticed that Arsenal opened the scoring with Saliba's deflected header, but then Chelsea missed many big chances, which meant they couldn't score any goals through their own players. I've noticed a few times that Chelsea get nervous when facing Arsenal, anyway the Blues players also received red cards in yesterday's game, which allowed Arsenal to easily secure three points against 10-man Chelsea, giving them confidence for the UCL match and has regained a 5-point lead in the points table.

God of soccer?? You must be joking. Arsenal deserve to win the game. They played very well in the first half, if they had taken their chances then they could have increased the score line 3 nil before the second half. The meme isn’t just about yesterday’s game, it’s the fact that Arsenal haven’t lost to Chelsea in the premier league in 5 years.

[Ale88]

And Neto receives a red card... This is the point this match ends I think. Arsenal should be able to secure the win comfortably. Maybe the score can get bigger than only 2-1 too. 

Once again Chelsea can't complete an Arsenal match without a red card in the PL. Maybe they could have got a point without the red card. Now I don't think Arsenal will mess up that much.

Thank you Arsenal for silencing the noisy bastards!! Finally, London is red again. 

Hopefully winning Arsenal is not all they can achieve this season, lol. Arsenal and Mikel Arteta should make sure they successfully lift the Premier League trophy by the end of the season. More ten fixtures to be played, let's hope everything plays into their hands.

I hope City will lose some points because I feel like Arsenal are really starting to feel the pressure. They are ahead but sometimes it's more difficult because many times they play after City and they know City's result, which is usually a victory, so they know they can't fail. And playing like this week after week can really get into their heads. I hope they can make it!

Manchester United continue their unbeaten run under their new manager Michael Carrick. In their last seven matches, they have recorded six wins and one draw. Today, they defeated Crystal Palace 2–1.

For Arsenal the match against Chelsea was very critical. They won that game as well and are moving steadily toward an unbeaten title run.
This victory was truly important. Some people expected Arsenal to drop points in this match, but they were proven wrong.

The win was a massive one for Manchester United fans, the comeback at home gave the feelings of nostalgia.

Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko is having that great partnership KDB had with Erling Haaland,  I love what I saw, they are both beginning to understand themselves on the field.
It is now five points between Arsenal and Manchester City with a game left to play for City. Chelsea are no match for Arsenal and that's period.

This is a very funny image and sometimes fans can be so crazy imagined!! I am just wondering what or how Chelsea fans will feel if they should see this image because it kinda embarrassing you know. But honestly speaking Chelsea has really fucked  up this season by allowing Arsenal beat them black and blue this season, I think there first meeting in the premier league this season Chelsea played well and if not for the red card I believe Chelsea would have won but yesterday own even without red they still wound not have win arsenal.

Dang! As a City fan. it will be disheartening to see them miss points when they're only two points behind Arsenal. So i i hope it won't happen. It will be far better to see Elephant to go down from the tree when out team is gonna beat them at Etihad.  
The two points gap will create a very intense battle when it comes to the Etihad game.

Arsenal was already winning before Pedro Neto got his ninth red card this season in all competitions. So we can assume that the red card didn't contribute to the goals they conceded. However, it hindered the Blues push on to level up. Chelsea players did well by not allowing the Gunners to score more. This win has increased Arsenal chances of winning the league. The only top EPL team they would face is Manchester City. I am also supporting Arsenal to become champions.

As for the picture, it is obvious that Chelsea is Arsenal's bride.

This image got me laughing so hard, I've not recovered from the trolling I got from my brothers yesterday now this   well blue still remains the colour and I trust my club to bounce back atleast we're still world champions and not trophy hungry like our noisy neighbours who think London is red just cause they won a match, not even a major trophy.

 Trolling aside I'm pleased with how good Arsenal has become with scoring through set piece, to the point that any available header can easily find the net if they're not properly marked, it's impressive. We on our own ends tried too atleast we created chances and fought hard not to lose but not very lucky, if only that late minute goal wasn't ruled out by VAR.

Chelsea is never an essy team, but what Arsenal has done to them deserve some comendation. Chelsea has not been able to record a win against Arsenal in their last 11 meeting. I think thats the highest unbeaten Arsenal has gone against any team in the EPL recently, so i think its safe to say that Arsenal now own Chelsea. Concerning the game yesterday,  i think Arsenal is not at their best, but the most important thing is that they got all 3 points and keep the title push alive. They are definitely going fot the title this year and i believe they can do it, but they just have to be more consistent,  i dont care if they play good football or not, the most important thing is for them to get the job done from now till the end of the season and they will be crowned champions of the EPL.

All these victories for Arsenal would mean nothing if they tank on winning the EPL trophy which is what everyone is waiting to see. So it's good they won one of the toughest looking fixtures they had in their list of games for the EPL season. Chelsea were just miserable in the second half, couldn't capitalize on the few chances they had, and what made their problem heavier was Neto's red card, and with this loss they risk grabbing a spot for the UCL next season.

[Velvet78]

Arsenal won but it wasn't an easy kind of a win honestly. They weren't comfortable during the most of the game... Even after that red card Chelsea got close to scoring the equalizer.

Of course getting 3 points is what matters the most. They have managed to keep the gap with Manchester City at 5 points. But with an extra game played though. 

However the fans would like to see better performances from their players next time.

I think it's not yet over until it's over. Chelsea still have the chance to qualify to the Champions League because Villa might continue to drop points. It's only if Chelsea also continues to drop points like they did in their last three matches. However, Liverpool wouldn't allow Chelsea overtake them.

[Agbe]

I'm supporting Arsenal to win this season's trophy, Chelsea drawing or winning them in this game wouldn't help them win the premier League this season, rather it will have set Arsenal efforts over the seasons all to amount to nothing. Arsenal needed to win this game more than Chelsea and congratulations to them as this season is almost their to carry.

That's exactly the reason why I was confident of the fact that Arsenal would definitely win the game because no matter the effort Chelsea puts in right now it won't be enough to win the premier league title at this point. Arsenal won because they had a lot at stake and they have come to far to lose their chance of winning the title. The only problem now is for them to be consistent for the rest of the season.

[SatoPrincess]

blue still remains the colour and I trust my club to bounce back atleast we're still world champions and not trophy hungry like our noisy neighbours who think London is red just cause they won a match, not even a major trophy.

I see Chelsea fans are still holding on to the world champions title as it’s the only thing they have to show for their decline in recent years.
London is red. There is no argument about that. Arsenal beat Spurs in the north London derby last week and went on to beat Chelsea yesterday. What else do you want before you accept reality?

it is obvious that Chelsea is Arsenal's bride.

You can say that again.

Of course, people have many reasons to laugh at Chelsea. The last time Chelsea beat Arsenal was only in 2021. It's been 5 years since Chelsea managed to beat Arsenal. There have been 12 games between the two teams since Chelsea last won, and in those 12 games, Chelsea hasn't managed to beat Arsenal. And note that in the last two seasons, Chelsea made many signings and are in a lower position than Manchester United.

Well I don't really blame Chelsea because the kind of form arsenal is on currently, it is very difficult to beat them just imagine Arsenal defeating Bayern Munich that was so strong and the way they played Bayern Munich that day I could not believe my eyes so you can not really blame Chelsea and it was even of recent that Chelsea somehow picked form and started playing well though this is not a good record 5 years and they have not had any win. They should improve on themselves else they won't qualify for UCL.
