Chelsea took the lead as early as the seventh minute of the game through an Eden Hazard goal assisted by Pedro.

Parity was however restored minutes later when Antonio Rudiger put the ball in his own net to record an own goal and bring the scores level at 1-1.

Arsenal scored the winning goal of the game in the 60th minute of the second half through Granit Xhaka to end the game at 2-1 at the final blow of the whistle.
