Arsenal star Kai Havertz took to social media to take a swipe at his former club, Chelsea, after helping the Gunners to a 2-1 win at the Emirates Stadium.
The win over the Blues maintains Arsenal's 100 per cent start to the season after victories over Coventry City and Aston Villa, with the defending champions joint top of the table with Manchester City.
However, Mikel Arteta's side had to come from behind to defeat Xabi Alonso's men, with Morgan Rogers opening the scoring for Chelsea just two minutes into the game.
Havertz dragged Arsenal back into the game and leveled with a brilliant low drive into the bottom corner, beating Emi Martinez at his front post.
A second-half strike from Martin Odegaard ensured the Gunners would end the match with the bragging rights after an impressive display.
Taking to social media, Havertz took a cheeky swipe at his former club and captioned a series of photos from the game: "LDN. Still red."

Speaking to Match of The Day after the win over Chelsea, Havertz said: "It's always nice to win at home against a London rival. It was a tough game but over the 90 minutes, we deserved to win that game.
"They have strong players. They have an amazing squad but so do we. We knew it was going to be tough and it's going to be a tight game.
"They scored early, so it's not easy for us but we believed in ourselves and changed the game around."
