Arsenal fans were left confused by the absence of the Ashburton Army during the first 30 minutes of their Premier League clash against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. The group of fans were noticeably absent from their usual area in the Clock End stand before returning to their seats in time to see Martin Odegaard double the Gunners' lead.
The Arsenal captain opened the scoring with a brilliant strike from the edge of the penalty box before adding a second just 13 minutes later. Gabriel Jesus has since added a third goal for the north Londoners as they look to run away with three points and return to the top of the Premier League table.
Mikel Arteta made three changes to his starting XI for the clash against the Blues with Gabriel Martinelli, Thomas Partey and Rob Holding all being dropped for the game. Frank Lampard looks set to make it six games without a win after returning to Chelsea as caretaker manager last month.
