There was a feeling of frustration in the air for Chelsea fans as their woeful record against arch-rivals Arsenal continued at the weekend at the Emirates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Xabi Alonso\u2019s side took the lead through Morgan Rogers<\/a>, but ultimately lost control of the game quickly, losing 2-1 and remaining on a record of just one win against them since 2019.<\/p>\n

\n

There was more misery for Blues fans when Kai Havertz<\/a> was the man to fire the Gunners level, with there no love lost after his unceremonious exit from Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Another defeat to Arsenal but not the worst performance. Who was our best player? Who needs to improve?<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Joe Cole shares what \u2018burns\u2019 him about Arsenal<\/h2>\n

Many believe the German never lived up to the hype for Chelsea, however he has hit new heights as the starting striker at the Emirates.<\/p>\n

Former Blue Joe Cole<\/a> stated in his review of the game that Havertz was \u2018sensational\u2019 in the top-of-the-table clash, something which continues to hurt him every time.<\/p>\n

He said to \u2018The Dressing Room\u2019<\/a>: \u201cThis player, it burns me every time I see him play for Arsenal and perform the way he performs, Kai Havertz was absolutely sensational in that position. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe sleep on him constantly, we did a highlight reel of him, the touches, when he drops in, as a centre-forward, a false nine is there a better player in that role in football?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chelsea currently have a very similar striker in their ranks in the form of Joao Pedro, however he faced a tough task in a physical battle with the Arsenal centre-backs.<\/p>\n

It was far from his best performance<\/a> after starting the season on a high, although it will surely not be long before he is back amongst the goals.<\/p>\n

Havertz meanwhile was keen to poke fun at Chelsea fans<\/a> on social media after the result on Sunday as he continued his strong record against them.<\/p>\n

He can expect a hostile reception from the Stamford Bridge faithful in the reverse fixture later this season, which is currently set for March 13, 2027.<\/p>\n
