Chelsea starlet Boga
humiliates Arsenal's
Kolasinac and Coquelin
in sublime display
Chelsea ran out comfortable 3-0 winners
over Arsenal in their opening pre-season
fixture and Jeremie Boga was one of the
standout stars for the Premier League champions.
Michy Batshuayi made a strong case to
replace Diego Costa as Chelsea’s leading
striker with two goals and an assist for
Willian’s opener shortly before half-time.
The 20-year-old, who is yet to make his official
debut for Chelsea’s senior side, didn’t look
out of place in Antonio Conte’s attack as he
constantly tormented Arsenal with his close
control and impressive dribbling.But Boga,
who replaced Pedro in the 29th minute after
the Spaniard suffered a concussion following
a collision with David Ospina, also shone as Arsene Wenger’s side struggled to cope with their rivals.
Arsenal’s new summer signing Sead Kolasinac
was the first one to get a taste of Boga’s skills
as the Ivory Coast international effortlessly
slipped the ball in between the left-back’s
legs before drawing a foul close to the area.
In the closing stages, it was Francis Coquelin’s
turn to be on the receiving end of Boga’s trickery
as the midfielder sent the Arsenal man in different
directions before nutmegging him.
But even before the nutmegs, Boga was
running riot in central midfield against Aaron
Ramsey and sold the Wales international with
a sublime feint in the first half.
If Arsenal’s players weren’t aware of Boga
before this, they certainly will be now.
