It was a night to remember for Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah as he scored a hat trick in a 3-2 win over Chelsea in the Premier League. The 21-year-old striker was in fine form, scoring three goals in the first half to put Arsenal in a commanding position. It was a remarkable performance from Nketiah, who has been in and out of the first team this season.
Nketiah’s hat trick was all the more impressive given the lack of a top striker at Chelsea. The Blues have been without a top-class striker since the departure of Diego Costa in 2017, and have struggled to find a suitable replacement. They have been relying on Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud this season, but neither has been able to provide the goals needed to challenge for the title.
Nketiah’s performance was a reminder of what Chelsea are missing. He showed great composure and skill to score his three goals, and his movement off the ball was also impressive. He was able to create space for himself and get into dangerous positions, something that Chelsea have been lacking this season.
It was a great night for Arsenal, and a reminder of what Chelsea are missing. Nketiah showed why he is one of the most promising young strikers in the Premier League, and his performance will surely give Arsenal fans hope for the future. As for Chelsea, they will need to find a top-class striker if they are to challenge for the title next season.
