LONDON: Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino was left frustrated by his team’s inconsistency after their 5-0 thrashing at Arsenal in the Premier League on Tuesday, which came just days after they pushed Manchester City hard in a tight FA Cup semi-final loss.
Leandro Trossard opened the scoring at the Emirates before Ben White and former Chelsea player Kai Havertz both scored twice in the second half to seal the north London club’s biggest-ever win in the fixture.
The defeat came after Chelsea had gone eight matches unbeaten in the league, and dealt a blow to their hopes of claiming a European place next season. “When we have bad days, we are so bad. When we are good, we are capable of everything,” Pochettino told reporters.
“We cannot blame the players, I’m not going to blame the players. We cannot blame young guys who came here and after suffering some circumstances, come here to fight against a team preparing to win the Premier League.”
