Arsenal stopped the bleeding of points and increased the tribulations of its neighbor Chelsea when it beat it 3-1 on Tuesday in the London derby at the "Emirates" stadium at the end of the thirty-fourth stage of the England Football Championship, regaining the lead and reviving its hopes of winning its first title since 2004.

The captain, the Norwegian international midfielder Martin Odegaard, imposed himself as the star of the match, by scoring a brace in the 18th and 31st minutes, taking advantage of two crosses by Swiss international Granit Xhaka, and Brazilian international Gabriel Jesus added the third goal in the 34th minute.

Noni Madueki scored the only goal for Chelsea in the 65th minute.

Arsenal regained the tone of victories that it missed in its last four matches (three draws and a loss) and achieved its 24th victory this season, raising its tally to 78 points, regaining the lead by two points from Manchester City, the defending champion, who won at Fulham 2-1 on Sunday.

Manchester City has two postponed matches against West Ham United for the 28th stage, which it will play tomorrow, Wednesday, at the Etihad Stadium, and its host, Brighton, for the 32nd stage, which will be held on May 24.

On the other hand, Chelsea continued bleeding points and its disastrous results, as it suffered its fifth loss in its last eight matches in the league, in which it did not taste the taste of victory, so its balance froze at 39 points in twelfth place with a postponed match.

It is the sixth loss for Chelsea out of the six matches he has played so far, led by his new-old coach, Frank Lampard, in various competitions.

Arsenal pressed from the start, and Gabriel Martinelli almost did it in the fifth minute when he took advantage of a ball that Spanish defender Cesar Aspilicueta tried to return with his head to his Spanish international goalkeeper Kepa Arisabalaga, so the Brazilian international striker snatched it and followed it from close range, which bounced off the latter and was dispersed by the defense (5).

Keba continued his brilliance and blocked Saka's header from close range, before the defense dispersed it (15).

Odegaard succeeded in translating the artillery's control into a wonderful goal with a powerful shot with his left from inside the area, after a pass from Xhaka hit the crossbar and hugged the net (18).

And goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale saved Arnal's goal from the equalizer by deftly deflecting Ben Chilwell's shot from inside the area into a corner (24).

Odegaard strengthened Arsenal's lead with a replica goal of the first when he received a cross from the left side of Xhaka, followed by his left from close range to the left of Kiba (31).

Jesus added the third goal, taking advantage of a ball that he himself prepared for Xhaka in front of the goal, so the latter hit it and bounced off defenders Thiago Silva and French Wesley Fofana and prepared in front of the Brazilian, who followed it from close range between Kepa's legs (34).

Arsenal continued its advantage in the second half, and Kepa brilliantly saved his goal by deflecting a header from Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalaich from the goal (47).

Xhaka almost added the fourth goal with a creeping shot from inside the area, which Kiba pushed away with difficulty to a corner (53).

Madueki succeeded in reducing the difference when he received a ball behind the defense from Croatian international Mateo Kovacic, so he prepared it for himself inside the area and hit it with his left hand to the right of Ramsdale (65).
