Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium to make it three Premier League wins from three. Odegaard completed the turnaround after Havertz had cancelled out Rogers’ early opener, leaving the Gunners on nine points from nine and level with Manchester City at the top.
Arsenal and Chelsea served up a pulsating London derby in which the Blues struck after just two minutes through Rogers. Arsenal responded strongly and had a Calafiori goal ruled out for offside before Havertz eventually levelled. Pedro Neto hit the post before the break, but Odegaard’s second-half strike ultimately settled an end-to-end contest.
Arsenal: The Gunners grew into the match after a difficult start and refused to ease off once Havertz had restored parity. Odegaard completed the comeback with a left-footed finish after clever work from Tzolis and Havertz, while Raya produced a spectacular late save to deny Estevao and preserve Arsenal’s 2-1 advantage.
Chelsea: The Blues made the perfect start through Rogers and remained a threat throughout, with Neto striking the woodwork before half-time. They increased the pressure after falling behind and Estevao came desperately close to an equaliser, only for Raya’s superb intervention to leave Chelsea empty-handed at the Emirates.
