at Stamford Bridge
ARSENAL beat Chelsea 4-2 with an outstanding attacking performance to reignite their previously fading Champions League hopes in front of 32,249 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening.
In an utterly pulsating match, Eddie Nketiah grabbed the headlines through his first Premier League goals of the season, with a brace against the club that released him at the tender age of 16, insisting he was too small for them.
The Lewisham-born 22-year-old proved the Blues wrong on a memorable night for the Gunners, while Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka also scored, as Mikel Arteta’s side ended their dismal run of three defeats on the bounce with a thrilling victory.
