Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea slumped to another damaging home defeat against Brentford on Saturday as Eddie Nketiah hit a hat-trick in a 5-0 win for unbeaten Arsenal against bottom club Sheffield United.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea appeared to have turned a corner in recent weeks, taking seven points from their three previous fixtures, but their 2-0 defeat means they have just one home win from their past 13 games in the league.<\/p>\n

Ethan Pinnock took advantage of non-existent marking to head the visitors in front shortly before the hour mark after Chelsea had failed to capitalise on their first-half dominance.<\/p>\n

Robert Sanchez was embarrassed in added time after joining his team’s attack for a corner, failing to catch Neal Maupay in a race as he broke with the ball, allowing Bryan Mbeumo to score in an empty net to compound home fans’ woes.<\/p>\n

The result means Brentford leapfrog Chelsea into 10th place in the Premier League table, pushing Pochettino’s men into the bottom half.<\/p>\n

“I’m not happy and think the players also and the whole club is not happy about the run (at home),” said the Argentine manager.<\/p>\n

“It’s a long time that we need to be more consistent here and very disappointed with this. We feel the responsibility that we need to change the dynamic.”<\/p>\n

The former Tottenham boss said on Friday that Christopher Nkunku is nearing a comeback from the knee injury that has prevented the \u00a352 million ($63 million) signing making a competitive appearance yet for his new club.<\/p>\n

On this evidence, the French international’s return cannot come soon enough as Chelsea’s other new striker, Nicolas Jackson, again failed to fire.<\/p>\n

“If you don’t score, you need to blame ourselves,” said Pochettino. “We were not nasty or clinical in front of the goal.”<\/p>\n

It was a different story for Arsenal, who roared back from 2-0 down to draw against Chelsea last week to preserve their unbeaten league record.<\/p>\n

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta shuffled his pack –including dropping captain Martin Odegaard to the bench — for the visit of Sheffield United and Nketiah celebrated his recall in style.<\/p>\n

Arsenal broke through a resolute Blades defence as Declan Rice’s pinpoint pass was collected by Nketiah, who made no mistake with a close-range finish past Wes Foderingham.<\/p>\n

Nketiah doubled up when Foderingham failed to deal with a Bukayo Saka corner and palmed the ball into the path of the England striker, who lashed home to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n

Nketiah’s hat-trick was sealed in style as he smashed home from 20 yards.<\/p>\n

Arsenal were awarded a penalty after a lengthy VAR check for an Oliver Norwood foul on Fabio Vieira, the Portuguese midfielder taking the spot-kick himself and sending Foderingham the wrong way to make it 4-0.<\/p>\n

Another substitute, Takehiro Tomiyasu, completed the rout in stoppage time.<\/p>\n

The win lifts Arsenal two points behind pacesetters Tottenham, who beat Crystal Palace 2-1 on Friday.<\/p>\n

Struggling Burnley took the lead against Bournemouth through Charlie Taylor but Antoine Semenyo levelled midway through the first half for the south coast club with a superb individual goal.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth took the lead in the 76th minute when Philip Billing chipped over goalkeeper James Trafford from long-range.<\/p>\n

Newcastle, who have won four of their past five league games, take on Wolves in the late kick-off.<\/p>\n

High-flying Liverpool and Manchester City are in action on Sunday.<\/p>\n
