Chelsea Manager Mouricio Pochettino has been sacked this evening by Chelsea Board after loosing 5-0 to Arsenal

Mauricio Pochettino expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of his Chelsea squad, emphasizing their apparent lack of competitive spirit during their defeat to Arsenal by a significant margin of 5-0. The match unfolded at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, where the visitors from north London swiftly seized the initiative with an early goal by Leandro Trossard, who found the net from a close range. Despite sporadic attempts by Chelsea to counterattack, it was Arsenal who consistently generated the more promising scoring opportunities throughout the game. The breakthrough for Arsenal came in the second half, with consecutive goals from Ben White and Kai Havertz, both of whom secured braces, thereby asserting Mikel Arteta’s team’s dominance and ultimately securing a resounding victory. As a result of this outcome, Arsenal now enjoys a three-point lead over Chelsea in the Premier League standings, with Chelsea languishing in ninth place. Pochettino lamented his team’s lackluster start to the second half, attributing their struggles to conceding an early goal and acknowledging the challenge of regaining momentum thereafter. Reflecting on the match, Pochettino remarked to TNT Sports that while his team eventually found their footing, it took approximately 10 to 15 minutes for them to assert themselves on the field. He underscored the importance of addressing their performance in the second half, emphasizing the need to avoid repeating the same mistakes made in the initial stages of the game.
