However, it didn’t take Chelsea long before they went ahead. Palmer released Pedro Neto down the left wing and he squared to Nicolas Jackson for a tap-in after a quick counter attack. Alexander Isak managed to pull one back with an awkwardly taken equaliser to send the teams into the break on level terms but it was Palmer who had the last word.

Arsenal work it right to Bukayo Saka, he comes inside on his left foot and has a go.

Joao Pedro scored a hat-trick, as they went above Liverpool on goal difference.
