Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea: Abraham goal gives Blues comeback win as Leno makes error

Chelsea were 1-0 down with 82 minutes gone against Arsenal but goals from Jorginho and Tammy Abraham turned the game on its head.

Match Report

Mikel Arteta suffered his first defeat in charge of Arsenal after late goals from Jorginho and Tammy Abraham earned Chelsea a dramatic 2-1 victory at Emirates Stadium.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's second goal in as many games put the Gunners ahead and it looked as though Arteta's arrival had rejuvenated the Arsenal midfield as they dominated large spells of Sunday's game.

But a mistake by Bernd Leno allowed Jorginho – arguably fortunate not to have been sent off – to equalise with seven minutes of normal time left on the clock and Frank Lampard's eventful first season in charge of the Blues took another twist when Abraham scored a breakaway winner four minutes later.

13' GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea (Aubameyang)

Aubameyang pounces from close range to put the Gunners into a deserved lead. Ozil's corner is flicked on by Chambers at the near post. Aubameyang is the first player to react as he gets ahead of Emerson before stooping to power a header past Kepa into the back of the net. The perfect start for Arteta.

21' Chambers subbed off after getting injured

Chambers hobbles off under his own steam, but is replaced by Mustafi in the middle of the Arsenal backline.

47' Yellow Card! David Luiz booked

David Luiz brings down Willian on the charge and goes into the book.

55' Lacazette in conflict with Jorginho

83' GOAL! Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea (Jorginho)

The Blues are back in the game as Jorginho taps home at the back post. Mount whips a free-kick into the box and it should be an easy claim or punch from the German. However, he misses the ball completely, allowing it to travel to an unmarked Jorginho. The midfielder takes a touch before slotting the ball into an empty net. A nightmare for the Arsenal keeper.

87' GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea (Abraham)

Chelsea produce a brilliant goal on the counter to take the lead. An Arsenal attack peters out and Abraham carries the ball forward with pace. He offloads to Willian in space down the right inside channel and the Brazilian cuts it back to his team-mate in the middle. Abraham turns David Luiz and holds his composure to fire a low strike through the legs of Leno into the net.
