Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal : What we learned from the first London Derby for the new managers

#3 Missed chances by Arsenal

The number of chances Arsenal had in the first half, they could easily been four to five goals ahead. But their poor finishing let them down.

The likes of Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang who are expected to bury the ball at the back of the net, missed chances galore. Those were all easy chances at this level, with an open net to put the ball into. But all they managed to do was put their shots over the bar.

Though Mkhitaryan did manage to pull one back for Arsenal but Aubameyang was a frustrated figure. He is still looking to open his scoring account this season.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
