Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea: Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard secure comeback win for champions in pulsating London derby
On Sunday, September 6, 2026, Premier League champions Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium, overturning an early deficit in a pulsating London derby.
Morgan Rogers, who joined Chelsea for £117 million after rejecting Arsenal, scored after 77 seconds—the fastest goal conceded by the champions this season.
Kai Havertz equalized midway through the first half before Martin Odegaard finished a flowing move in the 50th minute, exploiting Chelsea's defensive vulnerabilities.
The result leaves Arsenal level with Manchester City on nine points atop the Premier League, while Chelsea's unbeaten start to the campaign ended.
Arsenal extended their dominance by remaining unbeaten in nine consecutive league matches against Chelsea, a streak dating to August 2021 that underscores their recent control.
