Renowned Nigerian gospel artist Nathaniel Bassey indulges in Chelsea’s misery following their humbling by Arsenal at the Emirates.

In the aftermath of Chelsea’s resounding 5-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League on Tuesday night, Bassey, a prominent figure in Nigerian gospel music, took to social media to poke fun at the Blues.

Former Chelsea player Kai Havertz netted twice, with Leandro Trossard and Ben White also contributing goals as Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal asserted dominance at the Emirates Stadium, moving three points clear at the league’s summit.

Bassey’s Twitter Taunt
After the lopsided London derby, Nathaniel Bassey, known for his spiritually uplifting music, shared a brief yet pointed tweet on Twitter. His post simply read “Chelsea!” accompanied by laughing emojis.

While the comprehensive victory delighted Arsenal fans, Bassey opted to remove the post shortly after, perhaps anticipating potential backlash.

The decisive win over their local rivals marked a significant statement for Arsenal, solidifying their position at the top of the Premier League table. Trossard’s early strike paved the way for Arsenal’s commanding performance, with Havertz’s brace and White’s goal sealing the memorable triumph.

The outcome heaps pressure on Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, tasked with steering the club’s fortunes since his arrival in the summer. Despite the defeat, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta extended sympathy to Pochettino, recognizing the positive strides made by the former Tottenham boss with Chelsea in recent weeks.

With the Premier League season unfolding, the battle for supremacy at the league’s summit promises excitement, with Arsenal firmly in control following this resounding victory over their local rivals.
