Chalobah, Caicedo And Hato Get 7 | Chelsea Players Rated In Derby Defeat Vs Arsenal | OneFootball

Chelsea faced off against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium earlier this evening as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Blues made a decent start to the game but conceded the opening goal in the 21st minute when William Saliba found the back of the net. However, Liam Rosenior’s men scored the leveller in the dying embers of the first half thanks to an unfortunate own goal from Piero Hincapie. The two London sides went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.

Jurrien Timber put Arsenal 2-1 ahead in the 66th minute before Pedro Neto was sent off by the referee in the 70th minute. The ten men of Chelsea ended up crashing to a tough 2-1 loss in the derby.
