Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has expressed his disappointment with the performance of Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze in their Premier League encounter against Chelsea on Sunday. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with goals from Trevor Chalobah and Mikel Merino ensuring both teams shared the spoils.

Leboeuf, who was analyzing the game for ESPN, felt that Saka and Eze, both England internationals, did not live up to their usual standards. He stated that they were “shadows of themselves” during the encounter at Stamford Bridge, failing to make a significant impact on the game. Leboeuf also praised Declan Rice, noting that he was “always in the right place” defensively, but expressed concerns about the defensive performance of other players.

The draw means that both Arsenal and Chelsea remain in the hunt for top spots in the Premier League table. The result will be seen as a missed opportunity for both teams, who will look to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures. Saka and Eze will be expected to regain their form and lead their team to victory in future matches.

The Premier League has been marked by intense competition this season, with several teams vying for the top positions. Arsenal and Chelsea will need to work on their defensive and attacking strategies if they hope to achieve their goals. The performance of key players like Saka and Eze will be crucial in determining their team’s success.

As the season progresses, fans will be keeping a close eye on the performances of these teams and players. With the league table still tightly packed, every match counts, and teams will need to be at their best to secure vital points. The upcoming fixtures will provide an opportunity for Arsenal and Chelsea to redeem themselves and make a push for the top spots.
