The little magician does it again: Leandro Trossard keeps Arsenal in the title race against Chelsea, which gets five goals | Premier League

As they left Molineux, some diehard Arsenal fans sang the catchy tune: “Trossard again, olé, olé”. Last weekend, the Red Devil showed his club the way against Wolves with the important opening goal.

On Tuesday evening it was Trossard again – Trossard again. He gave the Gunners the lead against Chelsea with a strike – goalkeeper Petrovic helped. His tenth of the season. His best return ever since he moved from Genk to the Premier League five years ago.

In money time, Arsenal can count on its most versatile attacking force. The Limburger has scored important goals against Porto and Bayern in the Champions League in recent weeks – Arsenal did not survive the quarter-finals. He continues that line in the Premier League, with two goals in two matches. Ben White and Kai Havertz (both two goals) completed the punishment for Chelsea.

“He is a little magician,” says coach Mikel Arteta about our compatriot. Trossard plays one in two matches at Arsenal, but proves his value as a starter and as a super sub.

Arsenal (77 points) is again ahead of title rivals Liverpool (74) and Man City (73). They have played one and two fewer matches respectively. Trossard and co keep the pressure up.
