Disappointed: Pochettino reacts as Chelsea suffer heavy 5-0 defeat to Arsenal

Chelsea returned to action on Tuesday night when they played current EPL toppers Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

The Blues suffered a heavy defeat at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal inflicted what can been described as the west London club’s biggest defeat of the season.

Chelsea had chances to equalise in the first half but failed to do so as the Gunners fired goals from all corners as the game ended 5-0.

As expected, Mauricio Pochettino was not happy after the game, as he pointed out reasons the game was lost.

‘I feel disappointed, really bad,’ said Pochettino.

‘The performance wasn’t good, we didn’t start the game in the way we were supposed to start.

‘We conceded the goal too easy, we made things so easy for Arsenal, started the game losing the game and after that it was really tough. 10 or 15 minutes after we conceded, we started to play a little bit and create some chances, like we started the game again.

‘We were talking at half-time, saying it is not possible to start a game like that at this level, but we started in a bad way again in the second half and conceded two goals. Then I think the team gave up and we were not in the game.’
