Arsenal player ratings: Chelsea (A)

Arsenal’s poor start to the season continued with the Gunner’s slipping to a 3-2 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

In a game full of goals, Arsenal started in the worst possible fashion. Chelsea quickly opened up a two goal lead against the Gunners.

Pedro netted after nine minutes for the Blues, whilst Alvaro Morata took advantage of poor Arsenal finishing to score the second.

Arsenal then made a comeback, with  Henrikh Mkhitaryan making amends for some poor finishing earlier in the night to score the Gunners’ first. Alex Iwobi then scored a second, levelling the match before half time.

However it wasn’t to be for the Gunners, who suffered defeat late on thanks to a Marcos Alonso goal,  meaning that Arsenal start the season with two defeats.

Here’s how we rated the Gunners.
