Ian Wright has criticised Mikel Arteta’s decision to drop Rob Holding for Arsenal’s win over Chelsea.
Arsenal ended their four-match winless run in the Premier League by easing to a 3-1 win over Chelsea on Tuesday night. Two goals from Martin Odegaard and one from Gabriel Jesus had the game won within the opening 34 minutes and a consolation from Noni Madueke did little to dampen the Gunners’ spirits.
It was a much-needed win for Arsenal, who surrendered their advantage over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League by drawing to Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton before losing to Pep Guardiola’s side. Holding started all of those games at centre-back following the injury to William Saliba, but was benched for the visit of Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium.
