Alexis Nunez

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest edition of ESPN FC.

I'm Alexis Younes alongside Stevie Nicholl and Shaka Hislop.

You know we have to kick things off in the Premier League because there was a London derby today as Arsenal hosted Chelsea at the Emirates and the Gunners beat Chelsea to restore their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.

William Saliba opened the scoring for the home side in the 21st minute and then Chelsea found a way back through an own goal from Nkapieh and then Jurian Timber put Arsenal back in the lead in the 66th minute but then Chelsea went down to 10 men after an unnecessary second yellow for Pedro Neto.

In the end, Arsenal managed to hang on and win this one and get all three points.

Let's welcome in the rest of our squad, shall we?

Julian Lorenz is joining us as well as Frank Leboeuf.

Oh, the little French connection.

Let me start with Jules in this one.

Jules, because we know how close you are to the Arsenal side.

I mean, this seems or felt like a bit of a statement win from Arsenal.

It wasn't the prettiest game of football on the pitch.

Three goals from shock set pieces.

But how do you feel Mikel Arteta will be feeling after this?

Ah, Frank, you know I'm going to have to come to you next as a former Chelsea man, just to hear Jules say that, that Chelsea probably were the better team in the game.

But again, you leave the Emirates with nothing.

What's upsetting you about this game?

Because I know there's a lot.

Well, I know that's definitely one point that, Shaka, I know you want to talk about, but just to pick up on Frank's point about Robert Sanchez, because, of course, we were on La Liga duty watching the Grand Derby, but you could not take your eyes away from those opening moments, seeing what Robert Sanchez was doing.

Yeah, Jules, just to bring back up Stevie's points and his analysis of Arsenal, just how much of a concern would that be now for Arsenal?
