I dunno how the long ball of chelsea was working pretty well against arsenal. Arsenal has zero shots on target during the first half. Very bad to see how mudryk must be leaving from the field. Pochettino once again did another wrong substitution.

This is my main reason why chelsea was getting draw against arsenal when the club was leading two goals.

Chelsea with this good performance against Arsenal, shows some signals that they are able to come back very strongly in rest of season. Before this match, they had some good matches but this big match is really helpful for Chelsea to feel they are like a big club again. They nearly won over Arsenal and I agree with you that if Pochettino made better substitutions, Chelsea would have not given opportunities for Arsenal to equalize the match in second half.

Liverpool won by 2-0 today maybe but one game could have been played this poorly honestly. After Everton got a red card I thought Liverpool would finish them off easily. But this wasn't what happened. Liverpool still continued to struggle quite much during the game. Despite having the full control they just wasted so many opportunities.

The goals came really late by Salah. He at least put on a show and became the savior. But this team performance needs to be improved for sure. Because it can create some trouble for Liverpool in bigger games later. They need to play more efficiently.

Liverpool dominated that match but they failed to have goals in a first half by wasting many opportunities. Even the red card of Ashley Young could not help Liverpool to open the match in the first half.

Anyway, with their domination and advantage of one more player on field than Everton, Liverpool eventually found an opening goal from Salah's penalty shot. They continued to create some more chances but it's not a good match of their attacking players as they wasted chances in second half too. Only in late minute, Salah scored a second goal to finalize a match for them. Generally it is not an impressive win for Liverpool but 3 points are enough for them to continue racing with Tottenham. It means more when Arsenal lost two points in the match with Chelsea.
