“It didn’t seem to me Mykhailo Mudryk second goal was a fluke and a lucky goal he can’t score such again- Mikel Arteta insists Chelsea’s second goal was a fluke
Mikel Arteta says Chelsea’s second goal was just a fluke in the draw at Stamford Bridge.
Some people say that Chelsea’s second goal in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal was a chipped goal, but Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says it was a mistake.
A good move by Mykhailo Mudryk on the edge of the Arsenal penalty area led to his first goal at Stamford Bridge. David Raya had moved away from his goal, so the Ukrainian player seemed to chip the ball over him.
According to the replays, the goal wasn’t meant to go in. Instead, it was a cross for Raheem Sterling that got lost and ended up in Raya’s net.
Carrie Brown of beIN Sport says that Chelsea’s goalkeeping coach Toni Jimenez told Mudryk to watch out for Raya straying off his line, which is exactly what the winger did. But when Arteta was told that Chelsea was claiming the goal, the Arsenal manager didn’t believe it.
“They said it was planned?” Arteta looked shocked when she was asked.
“It didn’t look like it. They can see better. If they did it on purpose, good for them.
After seeing his team waste what looked like an easy win at first, Mauricio Pochettino will be furious with them.
