'Dreadful again' - National media slam Chelsea for embarrassing London derby defeat to Arsenal

Chelsea's shocking Premier League form in 2023 continued last night as the Blues were comfortably beaten 3-1 by London rivals Arsenal. In search of their first win in nearly two months, Frank Lampard's men rocked up to Emirates Stadium with a point to prove, but any hope of a victory was shattered quickly with the Gunners going three goals in front after just 34 minutes.

Arsenal also came into the game after not winning any of their last four, but it was abundantly clear to see which team had something to fight for. The three points took Mikel Arteta's men back above Manchester City before they have the chance to make an immediate return to the summit when they face West Ham on Wednesday evening.

Noni Madueke gave the visitors some hope of a comeback with a well taken finish, but the England Under-21 international was the only shining on an otherwise abysmal night. Whoever takes charge of the club has seriously got their work cut out as Chelsea look completely devoid of ideas.
