Chelsea have just turned round a game against Arsenal at the Emirates, getting a win they didn’t really deserve, but desperately needed.
The Blues were dire in the first half, but they stepped things up in the second and eventually capitalised on a major error from Arsenal goalie Bernd Leno to get back in the game.
Moments later they were 2-1 up thanks to an incisive counter. The Gunners had crumbled once again, and this time we were the beneficiaries. Our players who were so dire in the opening period got better and better as the game went on.
Some fans were critical, rightfully so in some cases, but others gave credit to those who improved as the minutes went by.
As always, we’ve found a collection of Tweets that sums up our opinion of the performance of each player:
Kepa:
Gary Neville praising Arsenal all game long saying he feels bad for them losing… was I watching the same game? From the second Frank made a change in the first half we dominated and I don’t remember Kepa having to make a save?

Kante:
Kante needs to really up his recent games as well, with Loftus-Cheek on his way back he could easily be spending more time on the bench with performances like this.

Emerson:
He is not alone, but Emerson has had a terrible 20 minutes for Chelsea here.
