Ozil hooked. Didn't even realise he was on tbh.

Crap from Lacazette, gives the ball away, half arsed attempt at getting it back, lets Hazard pick out Alonso and it's 3-2. Thrown away a good point.

One of the most enjoyable games between the top teams for a whille .

Helps when both teams cannot defend .

Damn, only been listening to this on the radio but it sounds like a cracker. Sometimes these "big" games deliver! Really looking forward to MOTD!

Arsenal are either brain dead or lazy fuckers, the lack of closing down when Chelsea get into dangerous positions is concerning.

Good luck defending Hazard and Kovacic dribbling at you when both of them are starting on the regular. Eek.

Only saw the second half. Good game, shame I wasn't able to see the first. Anyway, another loss for Arsenal, lovely stuff. :D

But not all Alonsos drink drive and kill a person in the process.

Xabi>Marcos.
Yeah I did know that Stevie. You also have Fernando Alonso, another cool guy.

There ought to be a law against Emery giving interviews in English.

Emery went deep in the second half with Torreira replacing the ineffective Xhaka. Arsenal were playing much closer to their goal which made it harder for Chelsea to create chances. Chelsea scored from one of the only opportunities of the half really. Good work by Hazard. The goal looks avoidable but it really is a well worked goal.

Not the end of the world for Emery despite having no points after 2 games. Arsenal showed a lot of character pegging Chelsea back from 0-2 down to 2-2 in the first half. With a different attitude this could easily have ended 5-0 to the hosts. Have little doubt they'll beat West Ham next week at the Emirates.

Sometimes it seems to be very clear what Arsenal are trying to do, but other times it seems like Cech, Sokratis and Mustafi are just passing it around trying to concede a goal.

Having watched the highlights I'd quite like Spurs to face either team in the next game. Some incredibly sloppy and lack lustre defending, and what were Chelsea doing allowing Arsenal all that space to create opportunities at home? Both teams could yet have a good season but at the moment they are a long way from looking like "together" units where everyone knows their job. Two new managers, two new styles, lets hope they don't get into their stride until, say, May 2019...

As soon as Chelsea's manoeuvre slowed down a little bit, its defense had a total black-out, typical of Sarri.

So we can expect this all season long, not just an early season blip?
