LONDON — The grueling Thursday-to-Sunday turnaround that comes with playing in the Europa League might already be taking its toll on Chelsea. By drawing 0-0 at West Ham, Chelsea dropped its first points in the Premier League and failed to score under Maurizio Sarri for the first time this season. ——NO ARSENAL HANGOVERThere was no such Europa League hangover for Arsenal, which beat Everton 2-0 for a fifth straight win in all competitions. Since his Premier League debut on Feb. 3, only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (16) has scored more goals than Aubameyang’s 12. Arsenal didn’t have to travel for its Europa League match and had mostly fielded a reserve team in its 4-2 win over Ukrainian side Vorskla Poltava on Thursday.
