Odegaard and Saka star - player ratings for Arsenal v Chelsea
How Arsenal and Chelsea's players rated following their Premier League match.
Arsenal secured an impressive 2-1 home victory over Chelsea at Emirates Stadium, with Captain Martin Odegaard scoring the winning goal in the second half. The match saw several standout performances from both teams.
Morgan Rogers put Chelsea ahead with a first-time volley in the second minute, but Kai Havertz equalized just two minutes later, cutting inside to score. Odegaard then struck early in the second half to secure the win for Arsenal.
David Raya's goalkeeping was praised, with one spectacular save from Estevao late on. Bukayo Saka was a constant threat, regularly winning free-kicks in dangerous positions and nearly scoring a equalizer from a curling effort saved by Raya.
Ezri Konsa impressed as a defender, winning more duels than any other and contributing to the team's possession. Riccardo Calafiori also played a key role in creating problems from set-pieces. Bukayo Saka's equalizer was saved by goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
