Arsenal looking ready to rock
Unlike when these two sides clash in the Premier League, the relatively equal split of Arsenal and Chelsea supporters in Orlando meant that this game had something of an even feel going into it at kick off. Come full time though it was clear that only one side was on top.
Thomas Tuchel was brutal in his post-mortem of the game as he cited the reasons for the difference between the two. "I saw today a team in Arsenal who are mentally committed to an idea of playing, a level of exhaustion, a level of physical commitment that we could not match," the German surmised in his press conference. "Also, a level of mental commitment that we lacked because we have a lot of players who are thinking about leaving and looking at their options. We have players that have left and I think at the moment that's obvious."
