Arsenal’s disappointing draw away at Fulham has left many questioning their title capabilities despite still being in the first leg of the season.
Arsenal were expected to return home with three points from the London Derby but ended up conceding first and chasing the game from then on.
Despite having nearly the whole squad back, it proved difficult for them to get a second goal and ended up with a draw to put them 6 points behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand.
Chelsea show might in London derby win
To make it more painful for the Gooners, Chelsea came out with the three points away at Tottenham Hotspurs, putting them only 4 points behind Liverpool.
Despite going two nil down, the game took a different turn in the second half as Cole Palmer equalised through a penalty to ignite a comeback.
Two more goals from Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer, also a penalty, gave the Blues all three points despite a late goal from Son Heung-min.
With the squad Chelsea have, and playing in the European Conference league, many see them as a serious contender for the title.
However, manager Enzo Maresca still thinks they’re far away from the title and doesn’t see his team disrupting anything at the top.
Sitting above Arsenal shows substance, and the Blues will have to maintain the consistency until March to see if they’re cut out for the title.
Arsenal will need more goals from open play to prove they have other ways of winning apart from being the ‘kings of corners’.
