Cole Palmer and Mykhailo Mudryk looked to have given Chelsea three points, but Arsenal roar back through Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard
side took the lead after just 15 minutes after VAR penalised William Saliba for a handball off a Mykhailo Mudryk header, before Cole Palmer coolly finished for the second consecutive game.
Arsenal struggled to find any foothold for much of the match and their woes were compounded by Mudryk’s wayward cross deceiving the poor David Raya to double Chelsea’s lead.Yet just as the home faithful had started to party, just as Chelsea’s return to English football’s top table was being proclaimed across London, Declan Rice latched onto a poor Chelsea goal kick and curled home from 30 yards.
This appeared to shake Chelsea’s youthful yet brittle confidence, and seven minutes later Bukayo Saka curled a penetrating cross towards substitute Leandro Trossard, who stabbed the ball between Robert Sanchez’s legs.Meanwhile, Chelsea have moved into the top-half for the first time this season after a performance with a huge number of positives and one damning negative.
