Martin Odegaard settled the tie just five minutes into the second half, applying the finish after a great run and pass from Christos Tzolis and a wonderful dummy from Havertz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FT: Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/PL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PL<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bet365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bet365<\/a> | 18+ | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/AD?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AD<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jO2kVNJmcF\">pic.twitter.com\/jO2kVNJmcF<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Squawka_Live\/status\/2096652083361681574?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-havertz-steals-focus-from-chelsea-forward-line\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Havertz steals focus from Chelsea forward line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kai Havertz has almost exclusively held down the No.9 spot for Arsenal at the start of this season, with Viktor Gyokeres only getting his first minutes of the campaign at the end of this match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The German&#8217;s performance in this London derby showed exactly why Mikel Arteta has put so much faith in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Havertz took his goal superbly to get Arsenal level, drifting out to the right before receiving and driving inside to create space for a low shot at the near post. Emi Martinez will be very disappointed not to have kept the shot out, but Havertz&#8217;s speed in creating space and pulling the trigger left the Chelsea stopper flat-footed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kai Havertz loves scoring against Chelsea.<br><br>Against no side has he scored more Premier League goals for Arsenal than the Blues (3). \ud83d\ude24 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yGeSmCPQkX\">pic.twitter.com\/yGeSmCPQkX<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Squawka\/status\/2096631405530816963?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If his equaliser was impressive, his role in Odegaard&#8217;s winner was pure magic. In true Havertz style, the striker appeared to be strolling around the edge of the box, uninterested, before simply moving his foot out of the way to allow Tzolis&#8217; pass to find the run of Odegaard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It won&#8217;t go down as an assist, but Havertz showcased all of the intelligence and spatial awareness that makes him such an invaluable and underrated commodity at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They were just two moments in a performance that yielded a match-high 10 touches in the opposition box, three chances created, three shots and six duels won from 10 on the ground and in the air combined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of the pre-match talk was about Chelsea&#8217;s purring attack coming up against an unbreakable Arsenal defence. However, it was a former Blue wearing red and white who stole the show and imposed the defending champions onto the 2026\/27 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-chelsea-s-fatal-flaw-laid-bare-by-champions-arsenal\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chelsea&#8217;s fatal flaw laid bare by champions Arsenal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelsea walked away empty-handed on Sunday, but there&#8217;s no reason for Alonso or supporters to feel too downbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s never fun to lose a derby, but this is a side in transition coming up against the defending champions. It was always going to be a tough ask. What&#8217;s more, Chelsea can take heart in the fact that they dragged Arsenal into a serious game here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelsea were 11 games without a win across all competitions against Arsenal heading into this one, and there have been some miserable defeats along the way &#8212; including twice in the space of a month at the Emirates in the league and EFL Cup last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here, the Blues struck early and stayed on the front foot. Arsenal did a stunning job defensively, limiting Chelsea to 0.35 xG, but they had to be solid, with Alonso&#8217;s side moving the ball with speed, purpose and menace. It all nearly paid off in the final moments with Estevao forcing an excellent save from David Raya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The worries for Chelsea continue to come at the other end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chelsea have now gone 19 Premier League games without a clean sheet. \u274c <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WnUC1L3MLP\">https:\/\/t.co\/WnUC1L3MLP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Squawka\/status\/2096629770167443818?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While they dragged Arsenal into a game, that also meant that Chelsea had to deal with far more pressure and dynamism from open play than they might have expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Blues weren&#8217;t exactly torn open with regularity, but they often struggled to clear their lines and caused several goalmouth scrambles. They were fortunate not to concede in that manner in the first half as Riccardo Calafiori had an effort chalked off for offside against Ezri Konsa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the biggest culprit in the defensive chaos was Martinez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Argentine looked promising on his debut against Brighton last weekend, but utterly failed to command his box here, flapping at crosses and allowing Arsenal forwards to get to crosses ahead of him too easily. As mentioned, Martinez will not be happy at all with the way he failed to deal with Havertz&#8217;s equaliser.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s very early days for Alonso&#8217;s Chelsea and the signs continue to be overwhelmingly positive. But on Sunday, the champions put them back in their place and reminded them of the flaws they must keep working on. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vcsw-sports-widgets shortcode vcsw-outright-odds\" id=\"outright-odds-1\"><script type=\"application\/json\">{\"sports_type\":\"football\",\"widget_type\":\"outright-odds\",\"show_title\":\"true\",\"competition\":\"6a14ff47dd2a4896f26ed659\",\"active_market\":\"Outright Winner\",\"items_to_show\":\"10\",\"data_markets\":[{\"_id\":\"Outright Winner\",\"name\":\"Outright Winner\"}]}<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/premier-league\/\"><strong>Premier League predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/premier-league-title-odds\/\"><strong>Premier League outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal continued their perfect start to their Premier League title defence with a 2-1 comeback win over London rivals Chelsea on Sunday.
