Eddie Nketiah scored two fantastic goals for the Gunners while Emile Smith Rowe helped himself to one well taken strike midway into the first half.

Arsenal youngster of Nigerian descent Miguel Azeez made the substitutes’ bench as Mikel Arteta grapples with injures to key players like Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney.

Arsenal went ahead in the 13th minute through Nketiah who pounced on the defensive gaffe of Andres Christensen.

Timo Werner restored parity for the Blues four minutes later after Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka gave away the ball allowing Ruben Loftus Cheek to find the German forward.

After Smith Rowe’s goal, Cesar Azpilicueta made it 2-2 in a frenetic first half.

England youth international of Ghanaian descent Nketiah grabbed his brace in the 57th minute when he got in between two Chelsea defenders to prod home the ball.

Saka then made victory certain in added time from the penalty spot after he was wrestled to the ground by Azpilicueta just before full time.
