'Jurrien Timber is embarrassing' as Maresca bust-up emerges - Chelsea fans fume
Yesterday at 12:20 PM
Arsenal picked up a London derby victory on Sunday (16 March) against Chelsea in a game of high tension which helped solidify the Gunners’ position in the Premier League table.
It was a game of few chances as Arsenal's makeshift forward Mikel Merino scored the only goal in the 20th minute which proved to be enough to separate the two London-based clubs.
Chelsea struggled to get into the game from an offensive perspective and created very few chances to actually find the back of the net.

The result has only increased the pressure on Enzo Maresca as fans are starting to showcase impatience with their lack of consistency.
