Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday to remain unbeaten after three Premier League matches, overturning an early deficit with goals from Kai Havertz and captain Martin Ødegaard. Chelsea, managed by new head coach Xabi Alonso, had taken the lead in the second minute through Morgan Rogers, who was set up by Dutch defender Jorrel Hato, but the home side responded with a composed second-half display to secure all three points. The result leaves Arsenal top of the early standings with a perfect record, while Chelsea drop to six points from three games following their first loss of the season.
