Martin Ødegaard, Kai Havertz strikes give Arsenal statement London derby win over Chelsea - ESPN

Arsenal came from behind to record a statement 2-1 win in their London derby against Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday.

The result takes the defending champions up to second in the Premier League table, level on points with league leaders Manchester City after their win over Coventry City on Saturday.

Morgan Rogers got the visitors off to a dream start when he put Chelsea in front after just two minutes.

The action didn't stop there, with Riccardo Calafiori thinking he had equalized in the 11th minute for Arsenal before the goal was disallowed for an offside by the VAR.

Just 10 minutes later, though, former Chelsea man Kai Havertz did get Arsenal back on terms with a composed finish on the edge of the box, with former Arsenal goalie Emi Martinez unable to keep the shot out.

With the score level at the break, it didn't take Mikel Arteta's side long to get in front after the restart, with Martin Ødegaard latching on to a ball into the box from Christos Tzolis before slotting home.

Tensions flared between England teammates Rogers and Declan Rice in the dying stages of the game with Rogers feeling as though he had been brought down on the counter by Rice; it ended with only the Chelsea attacker being booked as the away side pushed for a late equalizer.

Estêvão had the pick of the late chances, with a deceiving, curling effort off his left foot that was just tipped over by David Raya.
