Chelsea have been handed a rude awakening after Arsenal cruised to victory with a 4-2 win at Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel made four changes from the Blues' FA Cup semi-final glory against Crystal Palace, and the Blues were made to pay the price.
Former academy player Eddie Nketiah opened the London derby inside the opening quarter of an hour after latching onto a stray pass from Andreas Christensen, which threaded the 21-year-old through on goal with only Edouard Mendy to beat. Timo Werner levelled proceedings just moments later after his deflected effort looped beyond a perplexed Aaron Ramsdale.
The Gunners nipped Chelsea's momentum in the bud ten minutes later when Emile Smith Rowe handed his side the lead. Cesar Azpilicueta pulled Thomas Tuchel's side level just moments later, following a delicious combination with Mason Mount.
