Eddie Nketiah admits he had "chip on his shoulder" in Arsenal win after Chelsea snub

Eddie Nketiah confessed he had a "chip on his shoulder" after scoring twice against Chelsea - the team who released him as a teenager.

The Arsenal forward bagged a brace as the Gunners responded emphatically to claim the three points at Stamford Bridge. The north Londoners had lost their last three on the bounce and were in danger of seeing their top four hopes slip away, but produced an impressive display across the capital.

Nketiah scored his team's opener and also bagged their third, which put them back in front after Chelsea had twice equalised. The forward was on the books at the west London outfit for seven years from 2008 before he was shown the door. Arsenal soon picked him up and he returned to make his mark.
