Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard scored as Arsenal overturned an early deficit to defeat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on 6 September. Sky Sports records Havertz’s equaliser in the 25th minute and Ødegaard’s winner in the 50th, preserving Arsenal’s winning start to the Premier League season.
Chelsea had taken the lead inside two minutes through Morgan Rogers. The club’s match report describes Jorrel Hato heading a loose ball towards Rogers after a free-kick, allowing him to finish first time. Arsenal later had a Riccardo Calafiori goal disallowed because Ezri Konsa was offside in the build-up.
Havertz brought Arsenal level by moving in from the right and beating Emi Martinez at his near post. Pedro Neto then struck the post before half-time. After the interval, Havertz allowed a low delivery to pass him, leaving Ødegaard to finish and put Arsenal ahead.
David Raya protected the lead with a late save from substitute Estêvão. The defeat ended Chelsea’s winning start; their official report placed them fourth after the match, three points behind Arsenal and Manchester City. Those two clubs were the remaining sides with perfect league records at that point.
