Who are the two players who let Arsenal down against Chelsea by Ian Wright

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has named the two players who were to blame for the Gunners’ defeat to Chelsea. Pedro and Alvaro Morata. Made score 2-0 at Stamford Bridge but Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi netted in the final eight minutes of the first half and equalized the score. Gunners legend Wright felt two players were responsible for the defeat, because they switched off for Alonso's winning strike. He said: "They didn’t help themselves. It was a poor, sloppy bit of play from [Alexandre] Lacazette. Talking about Lacazette and [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang, they get on well, they play well together and they train, but where’s he passing to? Passing into danger,” Ian Wright said. "From there, Arsenal are in trouble. It’s a token gesture from Lacazette to close them down. He beats him very easily. If you watch Alonso, he’s right on the periphery but once he goes past Lacazette you’re really hoping [Lucas] Torreira might see him and pick him up. He doesn’t pick him up and when you consider how Arsenal get back into this game, how it started for them and how they got back into it, it really was quite a sloppy goal to give away, in respect to Lacazette’s poor play," the legend added.
