Jamie Redknapp has claimed Arsenal are ‘slight favourites’ to finish fourth following their 4-2 win at Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The win means Mikel Arteta’s side are level on points with fourth placed Tottenham with six games remaining for both clubs.
Arsenal opened the scoring at Stamford Bridge through Eddie Nketiah, but the Blues equalised moments later through Timo Werner. Emile Smith Rowe put the Gunners 2-1 up after a scintillating counter-attack, but Cezar Azpilicueta’s strike ensured both teams went in level at the break.
However, a second for Nketiah and a stoppage time penalty from Bukayo Saka sealed a priceless win for Mikel Arteta’s side, after a run of three successive defeats. Redknapp hailed the Spaniard for tweaking Arsenal’s formation during the contest, and claimed it was a ‘massive’ result in their quest to bring Champions League football back to the Emirates.
