Martin Ødegaard's 50th-minute strike secured a 2-1 victory for Arsenal over Chelsea at Emirates Stadium, extending their perfect start to the Premier League season. Morgan Rogers put Chelsea ahead inside 77 seconds from his £117 million move, but Kai Havertz equalized with a low drive before Ødegaard won it with brilliant assist play. Chelsea's defensive issues resurfaced, with Emiliano Martínez and Maxence Lacroix both struggling as the Blues conceded seven goals in three games.

Arsenal join Manchester City as the only sides with maximum points from their first three matches. The result marked Xabi Alonso's first defeat as Chelsea boss, highlighting ongoing concerns about their defensive fragility despite strong summer recruitment.
