VIDEO. Leandro Trossard opens the score against Chelsea, Arsenal makes it a 5-0 thrashing and puts pressure on title rivals

Leandro Trossard gave Arsenal the lead with a striking kick in the short corner after just four minutes in the London derby against Chelsea, which the Gunners won 5-0. The Red Devil knows where the goal is these days: last weekend he scored against Wolves and earlier this month he scored in the Champions League against Bayern Munich and in the Premier League against his ex-club Brighton.

Just like last weekend against Wolves, Trossard broke the ban for Arsenal in the top match against Chelsea. The 1-0 was still on the scoreboard at halftime.

But in the second half the competition leader turned it into a punishment. White (52′ and 70′) and Havertz (57′ and 65′) ensure a 5-0 win against Chelsea, which is only ninth in the Premier League.

The victory moves Arsenal three points ahead of Liverpool and four ahead of Manchester City. Liverpool plays its derby on Wednesday evening against Everton, Manchester City travels to Brighton on Thursday and then has another match in hand.

Leandro Trossard, called “little magician” by his coach Arteta, now has fifteen goals to his name in all competitions. In the Premier League he has ten goals, which means he has reached double figures for the first time in England.

Against Chelsea, Trossard kicked off for the third time in a row in a league match for Arsenal.
