Arsenal closes their place in the Champions League with a different victory against Chelsea.
The Gunners pressed their rivals in London in the Emirates on Sunday afternoon. It leaves them second in the table, with their title hopes just about.
The side of Mikel Arteta remains 12 points behind Liverpool. Nevertheless, they all seem to have sealed in the Champions League with an advantage of ten points compared to the fifth placed Manchester City.
Arsenal now gets a break, with international competitions that bring the Premier League to a break. View the latest Arsenal news on the way to the international break:
Mikel Arteta received his most important decision place with Arsenal that aimed beyond Chelsea. The Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino was used as a striker despite a difficult shape.
But he was the match winner again when he led a header home from a corner of the first half. Arsenal saw the strike end their arsenal of the corners.
The side of Arteta had not scored from their previous 98 corners, despite the fact that they had compiled a brilliant goalscores record of SET documents this season. The North -London side is back in action after the international break while taking on a recovered Everton side.
While Merino deputied well as a striker against Chelsea, the Gunners might have had an in-form ahead that led the border. Mika Biereth spent three years at Arsenal after arrival from Fulham.
But he went to Sturm Graz last summer at a permanent deal prior to a switch to Monaco. And Biereth has since shined with ten goals in just 11 performances for the French side.
And it is now explained why he was sold – because he did not have the right profile for a player who likes to lead Arteta the border. Speaking of his time in North London, Biereth said: “Making Arsenal is not the all and ending of someone's career. There are many ways to have a successful career outside of Arsenal. “
Mikel Arteta has suggested that Bukayo Saka could take action after the international break. The Arsenal wing player has been sidelined since December with a hamstring injury.
Asked if he could return within two weeks, Arteta said: “He has a good chance, yes.”
Saka had made 24 performances for Arsenal before his injury, scored nine goals and recorded 13 assists.
