Ødegaard fires winner as Arsenal complete comeback win over Chelsea

The Guardian · 28 minutes ago

Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium, extending their perfect start to the Premier League season to three wins from three games. Chelsea took a shock early lead through Morgan Rogers, but Arsenal responded with ferocious intensity, equalising through Kai Havertz before half-time and completing the turnaround with a Martin Ødegaard strike shortly after the break.

Rogers, who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa for £117m after being chased by Arsenal in the summer, put Xabi Alonso's side ahead after just 77 seconds with a volley from the edge of the box, the first goal Arsenal have conceded this season. Havertz levelled on 25 minutes with a low shot after drifting unchallenged across the Chelsea box, before Ødegaard, following a deft feint from Havertz, scored the winner after the interval. Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez made several notable saves, including denying Gabriel Magalhães, while a Riccardo Calafiori goal was later ruled out for offside; the result leaves Arsenal unbeaten against Chelsea in their last eleven meetings.

  • Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1, coming from behind at the Emirates.
  • Morgan Rogers scored early for Chelsea; Havertz and Ødegaard replied.
  • Arsenal maintain a perfect three-wins-from-three start to the season.
