Thomas Tuchel given urgent Antonio Rudiger transfer reminder as Chelsea suffer sour Arsenal loss

Chelsea have been handed a rude awakening after Arsenal cruised to victory with a 4-2 win at Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel made four changes from the Blues' FA Cup semi-final glory against Crystal Palace, and the Blues were made to pay the price.

Former academy player Eddie Nketiah opened the London derby inside the opening quarter of an hour after latching onto a stray pass from Andreas Christensen, which threaded the 21-year-old through on goal with only Edouard Mendy to beat. Timo Werner levelled proceedings just moments later after his deflected effort looped beyond a perplexed Aaron Ramsdale.

The Gunners nipped Chelsea's momentum in the bud ten minutes later when Emile Smith Rowe handed his side the lead. Cesar Azpilicueta pulled Thomas Tuchel's side level just moments later, following a delicious combination with Mason Mount.

But, Nketiah put Arsenal back in front to double his tally for the evening. Bukayo Saka then put the fourth and final nail in the coffin with a penalty in the dying embers after Azpilicueta wrestled the England international to the ground.

What were once minor inconveniences have grown into urgent causes of concern ahead of the summer transfer window. So we, Carefree Chelsea at , have plucked out at the good, the bad and ugly moments from the clash.
