🚨Roy Keane on Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Chelsea: 🗣️ Roy Keane: “For a moment, let’s appreciate the football Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are playing. For a long time, people said Arsenal lacked intensity, lacked enough forward play, that they could dominate possession without really hurting teams. Well, I hope they’re watching them now. They play beautiful football, but more importantly, the players don’t stop running. They’re constantly moving for each other and the understanding between them is really impressive. You see Rice holding the ball, then suddenly Tzolis finds a pocket, gets Ødegaard involved, and Ødegaard is already looking for Saka. That’s beautiful football. And Ødegaard’s goal has to be one of the easiest goals he’s ever scored. But that’s what good football does. Look at the movement from Tzolis and Havertz. They pull Chelsea around, create the space, and suddenly Ødegaard is completely free to finish it off. I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw Arsenal score such an easy goal against a big team. There was no panic, no forcing the final pass. They just moved Chelsea around until the opening appeared. And Arsenal will believe they can do the double now. This is the kind of win that gives you confidence because Chelsea are a very good team. Chelsea played good football as well. Pedro, Rogers, Palmer there’s plenty of intelligence and quality in that attack. Xabi Alonso has them playing with confidence. But sometimes, when you’re competing for championships, it comes down to determination. You have to find a way to win when the game is tight. And today, Arsenal had that cutting edge. That’s the difference I saw between the two teams. Chelsea played well, but Arsenal looked like a team that simply refused to leave without the three points.”
