Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino has shared more insight on his team heavy loss to Arsenal in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
Arsenal defeated Chelsea 5-0 on Tuesday night with Ben White and former blues star, Kai Havertz scoring twice. Leandro Trossard was also on target for the home side.
The victory saw Arsenal record their biggest-ever victory over rivals Chelsea, as the Gunners went three points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
While defeat saw Arsenal top the league, defeat confirmed Chelsea will be missing the Champions League next season.
Speaking after the game, Pochettino who has continued to receive criticism from fans revealed how difficult it is to explain.
“It’s not difficult to explain,” Pochettino told the BBC. “Everyone saw we didn’t compete from the beginning of the game. After we conceded I think the team was so soft. I’m so disappointed with the start because we’re supposed to have full energy and compete better.
“We were not aggressive and we did not concentrate in situations where it is easy to find the solution. That is why we’re so disappointed.
“We were talking at half-time to start in a different way. But we started really bad. In 10, 15 minutes in the second half, when we conceded the third goal we gave up. It was tough on them until the end of the game.”
Pochettino saw his side lost to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final match at Wembley and the defeat to Arsenal will pile more pressure on the Argentine tactician.
All eyes will be on Pochettino when Chelsea take on Champions League chasing Aston Villa on Saturday.
