Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea ratings: Havertz excels as Fofana struggles | OneFootball

Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday, with Kai Havertz influential and Wesley Fofana enduring a difficult night.

According to L'ÉEquipe, Havertz was rated eight. He equalised on 25 minutes. His feint then allowed Ödegaard to go one on one with Martinez to score the second on 50.

Havertz was withdrawn for Viktor Gyökeres on 77 minutes. Christos Tzolis earned seven, supplying the second goal and working hard to curb Neto down the left. The former Bruges player is settling steadily at the champions of England.

Cole Palmer received four. Booked for gamesmanship on Havertz at 45 minutes, he struggled to impose himself. Xabi Alonso used him behind the centre forward with licence to roam, but he offered little.

Wesley Fofana was rated four. He was beaten for pace before Havertz struck, then bought the German’s feint for the second. Otherwise he avoided major errors and produced a few sound interventions.
