League Match against Arsenal

Transcript

And so the calm before the storm, again this so engraved into sporting history. These two teams have squared up so many times before. It is a rivalry whose significance has never been diluted and never ever will be, all stemming from that simple dread at the very idea of losing each to the other. Everyone here is obliged to win. While there is here a great sense of expectation as to universal contentment, the Emirates embraces Arsenal once more. So the gloves are off, Jim. Well, it's certainly going to be huge, Peter. The demands both physical and mental on these players out there will be massive, and there's going to be a big responsibility on both captains to keep the players in check. We need talkers to ensure that everyone plays the game. and not this occasion. Things already rolling. And when these two meet, generally speaking, sparks fly. Well, having experience of games like this, Peter, getting the balance right between aggression and discipline is always key. Yeah, of course, you want to make your presence, Bill, but not for the wrong reasons. Not the most convincing of passes. That looks a cracking ball, and he's managed to get free. The movement is slick, the speed is slippery. The defense, though, able to hold on this time. Still goalless at the moment, at the moment. Whatever happens. That's the kind of movement which raises hope. That has not gone well. There is a sharp little ball here. It is a corner. Chelsea with the corner, there first. There's the shots! Oh, didn't catch it right. Good piece of opportunism there, but wasn't able to turn it home in the end. Jim, which player is best equipped for this game? Well, someone whose career I've watched with real interest, Peter, is Oedegar. That has been not clear. He has saved the goalkeeper's blushes there. What great defending. tries to play it through. And it is clear to see that he is not at all happy with that. Ah, he made it look a bit predictable. Madwiki, this is a promising build-up. Madwakey receives it in a good position here. Oh, he's bustling through here! And that is about as cool as they come. He picked his spot expertly. That's just a fabulous, fabulous finish. Anything that close to the frame of the goal, 99 times out of 100, the keeper's not getting there. Hostel have broken through, it's 1-0. Well, this should allow them to be a bit more expansive, although they'll be wise to be cautious for now. Agahawa unable to make it happen for all his good intentions. Now it's Gabriel Chaisus. That's really well manoeuvred. That's Fault 30. And he lines up a cross. Not pretty, but it gets the chop done. Arsenal definitely like they're pressing from the front. It's relentless at times, Jim, isn't it? High energy, high intensity. Standard practice nowadays, Peter. Make sure you don't give your opponents any time to think on the ball. Norgard, Martinelli. No, he's not getting past him there. Chelsea truly have no need to panic. They can reassess at half time. He has found the way through. Good read, needed to be. Well, it's not the best when it comes to decision-making, okay, initially he probably was afforded the space to hold on to it, but the longer he did that, the more he was going to be swamped. Fowl right on the edge of the box, it could go either way here. Chelsea really could have done without this. Not a blink. That's a good penalty, made the keeper commit early and set himself up for quite a comfortable finish. Things starting to look very comfortable. Well, it's a great time for them to keep the momentum going. I don't see any need to change the approach. Keep at it with the same intensity, and soon enough, they'll get another break. Simione wins the jewel this time. Now it's Gabriel Chaisus. The whistle's gone, and that's it for the first half. Well, it's been a proper derby so far, no doubt about that. Intense and utterly captivating. So that was the first half, and we will be back with the second half short. So let's get the ball rolling. I think it'll be fascinating to see how they're going to change their approach here. They have to go for it and try and pull one back, but they also have to be aware that going three down will probably seal their fate. Can they get him away? Closive starts in the second half. And a trademark move ends with the inevitable classy finish. Look, if you want to be effective on the break, then the key element is always pace. That's what really rips defenses apart, and it's difficult to find an answer to it when it's applied like that. Just one in it now. What a difference a halftime rocket from the manager can make. This is exactly the response he'd be looking for. Madweke. He welcomes it in. That has sent him sprawling. No fouls, says the referee. Now, it's Simeone. They've got to be quick moving this forward. Well, there is a look that says it all. A piercing stare. Well, the pass wasn't good enough, and he knows it. Now, it's Martinelli. Now it's Jamal, and it's Caicedo. He's in a great position here. Chance! That is delicious! He's got himself an absolute peach. They have come roaring back! Well, you have to credit the desire there. These boys knew they were in a battle, and they did exactly what was needed to get back into it. That's going to make the boss just a little happy now. You know, you just know there is no stopping that. And I think he's even surprised himself, Peter, and how well he caught that. And yes, it's him again. It's turning into quite a gem, this. Yeah, it's all hunting now. There's been a nothing of the intention and an urgency, a real step up in possession and purpose now. Now it's Martinelli, Lewis Skelly. Lovely. There's the shots! Oh, he's managed to get it all wrong. Madueke has every reason to be disappointed after being played in so well. The Gaffer won't let him forget that. Coming on the field is number 12 Turnwell. He's found the one. That's very, very good. You can't ask for much more than that. Getting up there! Oh, the Bulls come loose here, and like attempts of clearance. Oh, that's meat. in Capuilly. Lovely pass, but can he get there? Chelsea has the chance to go the other way. Now it's Martinelli, he's picked his way through. Now this could be a chance. Valverde. Nice interception, his positioning was spot on. That's a cute ball. Floated through. He's on side. Shapes to suits! And the keeper couldn't hold it! And that's in! And with that, he takes home the match ball! Some heroic goalkeeping, but even that couldn't save them this time. Oh, he was definitely fully focused on that, Peter. His reaction and anticipation got him there when everyone else was spectating. And with that, the hat trick is complete. Well, you had to fancy him, Peter. He seems to be growing in stature with every goal. Well, this is what we've been waiting for. Well, they've done the hard part now, Peter. Can they cling on or even better? Can they get another? Foot in. It's a pretty loose pass. Timba. A vicious ball here. Tries to get it clear. He's had it nicked away. I think the message here is quite clear, Peter. They won another one, and we'll seemingly keep going until they get it. Simeone being hounded, manhandled at times. Yeah, they've set out to man mark him now, but this is an embarrassing example of too little too late. Great defending, strong and determined. And the through ball, he's being a... Takes a shot! Now, who's going to be first to this? Could be danger here! And a finish! And a neat finish! The crowd demanded, and he was thrilled to oblige! That was a given, it always was! Well, I'm giving him full marks for the way he exploited the space, Peter, but you really shouldn't be left unmarked in the middle like that. I don't think he could believe his look. Hostel have opted to make another change here. Haven't coming on here as broadly expected. Yeah, I think it's time for some great decision making. Chelsea go up by two and are looking good. Well, their manager seems to have them always thinking about the next goal. When's the next goal coming? They're such an entertaining watch. Solid defending, refused to be outmuscled. The most accurate pass. Mosquera. Oedegaard. Oh, strongly challenged there. A Kanji concedes a free kick for that. Enkapuyi. No card. Mosquera. Nicely weighted ball. That is a great count. Can he finish! Oh, wonderful! What a goal! Subtuous finish, an absolute joy! And that was his 20th goal for this team! There was to be only one outcome. Well, how's that for composure, Peter? You can see the keeper tried to put as much pressure on him by staying upright, but it didn't phase him, not in the slightest. Chelsea visibly comfortable, now up by three. In Capulieu, five minutes to add. The Martinelli. He's found the way through. And here's Hammertz. Oh, now. Great chance! And somehow, somehow he kept it out. And it's been taken short. He's had a shot! I want to be quick to recover this. And we're done. Chelsea have done the business, grasping what they saw as rightly theirs. Maximum points. Simeone, happy to bask in the accolades from all around the stage most certain.
