Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed his empathy for Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino following Tuesday’s 5-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners’ dominant performance propelled them three points clear at the top of the Premier League table, establishing a significant 30-point lead over their Stamford Bridge rivals.
Pochettino has faced considerable scrutiny during his inaugural season at Chelsea, with this crushing defeat intensifying speculation about his future at the club.
Having experienced similar pressures himself, Arteta acknowledged Pochettino’s commendable efforts, stating, “He’s doing a really good job so hopefully things will turn around and be as he deserves.”
Looking ahead, Chelsea faces a challenging schedule, starting with a clash against high-flying Aston Villa followed by a showdown against Pochettino’s former team, Tottenham Hotspur. The Blues’ season concludes with fixtures against West Ham United, Nottingham Forest, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Bournemouth.
