Arsenal made an early statement in the Premier League title race as they edged Chelsea in a thrilling London derby.
The Blues opened the scoring in the very early stages as Morgan Rogers volleyed home with just less than two minutes played.
But Chelsea were pegged back soon after as Kai Havertz slotted into the bottom corner from the edge of the area, catching Emi Martinez wrong-footed.
Martin Odegaard then finished emphatically from close range, capping a lovely team move, to put the Gunners in the lead for the first time, a lead which they would eventually convert into three points.
