Pre
The Premier League at is very best

#3 Danny Welbeck, Marko Arnautovic, Chicharito and Chelsea's European heartbreak

Almos
Almost there!

Danny boy has been often berated by the fans for not turning up and being a gamechanger. In fact, his Arsenal career has been all about the roundhouse kicks and faceplants. And against a struggling Southampton side, he kept it real. But he did it in the best way possible.

After setting up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with a delightful backheel flick, Danny Welbeck drove into the edge of the area and leathered the ball into the net thanks to a small deflection that took the ball away from.Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy.

Then he went on to miss a chance from under the goalpost, yes you read that right. But he followed it up with a header at the far-post off an Alex Iwobi cross that won the game for the Gunners.

Meanwhile, Marko Arnautovic was omnipresent at Stamford Bridge, battling inside the attacking third and tracking back to put his size to use as he is gradually coming to embrace his life as the lone man up front for David Moyes's side.

He brilliantly set up Chicharito for the equalizer as West Ham stomped on the remnants of hope that lingered in Stamford Bridge regarding Champions League qualification,

Chelsea are now 10 points off the 4th place and it remains to be seen if Antonio Conte will stay beyond the season. It looks highly unlikely and it is disheartening to see this Chelsea side having to go through yet another rebuilding phase. It is sinusoidal this Chelsea unit. Champions one season, ordinary in the next.
