The real match: Arsenal 2–1 Chelsea

Arsenal beat Chelsea 2–1 at Emirates Stadium, London, on 6 September 2026 (Premier League, matchday 3). A London derby between two unbeaten sides, a striker facing the club he left and a crowd silenced before it had settled.

Goals

How the match unfolded

2' Seventy-seven seconds, and Rogers silences the Emirates. Konsa is penalised for a foul on Joao Pedro, the free kick is only half-cleared, and Rogers, waiting just inside the D, strikes it first time. It creeps inside Raya’s near post.

25' Havertz levels it, against the club he left. His third Premier League goal against Chelsea, and the Emirates finally has something to shout about. Midway through the first half, and the derby is level.

HT Half time. One apiece, and both sides have had their moments. Chelsea scored inside two minutes, Arsenal equalised, and a goal was chalked off. Neither manager makes a change at the interval.

50' A delightful Havertz dummy, and Odegaard rifles it home. Tzolis cuts inside and slides it towards Havertz, the striker steps over it, and the captain takes a touch in the box and finishes emphatically past Martinez. Five minutes into the half and Arsenal lead for the first time.
