Two goals late into the game from Jorghino and Tammy Abraham helped Chelsea seal a win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal were in the lead until the 83rd minute through the opening goal through a Pierre Emerick Aubameyang header until an error from Goalkeeper Leno got the score line to ONE – ONE. Minutes later Tammy Abraham scored to ensure Chelsea took all 3 points home.
Player Ratings:
Bernd Leno: Leno has been amazing between the sticks this season but no doubt his goalkeeping errors cost the gunners 3 points. (4.5/10)
Ainsley Maitland-Niles: The right back was diligent and solid at the back. (7/10)
Bukayoko Saka: Saka is yet to show what he is capable of, 3 games in decent displays. (6/10)
David Luiz: The Brazilian put up a pleasing performance at the backline but couldn’t stop Arsenal from losing the game (7/10)
Calum Chambers: Returning from suspension, Chambers went into the game and created impact, an assist to the goal and great passing, had to be subbed off due to injury. (7/10)
Matteo Guendouzi: Tipped to be one of the best younger guns, he didn’t have a pretty impressive night and gave away the ball too easily under pressure and struggled in the game. (6/10)
Lucas Torreira: Short, simple quick passing and expectational with winning the ball, he was clearly one of the best players on the pitch. (8/10)
Mesut Ozil: The performance Ozil displayed was probably his best in the last 2 years. It definitely cheered everyone up to see the Magician in from. If Ozil can get fully fit to play 90 minutes each game, Arsenal can be dangerous. (7/10)
Reiss Nelson: The youngster was quite promising and we hope that Arteta is quite pleased with the performance, there is a need for him to work on his crosses and final ball. (6.5/10)
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang: As usual a brilliant display from the captain who was the best player in the pitch. A brilliant header and tireless pressing. (8/10)
Alexandre Lacazatte: Not his best, but was good upfront, could have scored but showed full passion and commitment in his play. (6.5/10)
Subs:
Joe Willock: Had minimal time to influence the game, one narrow opportunity inside the penalty area (5/10)
Shkodran Mustafi: Poor passing, defensive error which led to the 2nd goal. Not a performance anyone would accept from a world cup winner. (4.5/10)
Nicolas Pepe: Came in towards the end, didn’t make an impact. (5/10)
