Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino expressed his frustration with his team's inconsistency following a disappointing 5-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League. The loss came shortly after a spirited performance in a narrow FA Cup semi-final loss to Manchester City, highlighting the unpredictable nature of Chelsea's form.
The match at the Emirates saw Leandro Trossard open the scoring before Ben White and former Chelsea player Kai Havertz netted two goals each in the second half, securing Arsenal's largest-ever victory in this fixture. This defeat ended Chelsea's eight-match unbeaten streak in the league and dealt a significant blow to their aspirations of securing a European spot for the next season.
Pochettino acknowledged the team's poor performance but refrained from blaming the players, emphasizing the need to maintain perspective and support the squad. Despite the disappointment, he remained optimistic about Chelsea's capabilities when performing at their best.
Looking ahead, Chelsea faces a challenging fixture against fourth-placed Aston Villa before hosting fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur on May 2. These upcoming matches will be crucial for Chelsea's quest to secure a strong finish in the league.
