Arsenal vs Chelsea LIVE as Odegaard puts Gunners ahead | Football

Odegaard is knocked over by James. Could be a card but isn’t.

Here come the Arsenal subs. Havertz and Odegaard off, Gyokeres and Merino on.

Gyokeres and Merino are ready to come on. Estevao also about to enter the fray.

Chelsea now have a chance from a corner as Gusto’s cross is cleared behind by Konsa.

Neto takes it from the right but it is cleared to James who hammers in an effort which Gabriel heads clear.

It would be a surprise if we’ve seen the last of the goals. Chelsea are probing but Arsenal still look the more threatening.

Saka swings it in this time from the left and Martinez grabs it on the line.

Short corner this time never gets in the box but Odegaard wins another corner.

Rice swings in a corner from the left to the near post, flicked on by Havertz and headed behind for another corner on the other side.

Odegaard finds Havertz who beautifully flicks the ball into the path of Saka. His first time shot is well saved by Martinez. Corner.

Tzolis has been more involved in the second half as a threat down the left. He creates an opportunity again but Zubimendi’s shot is blocked and cleared.

It’s an Arsenal free-kick this time as Chavarria fouls Odegaard and allows some subs to be made for the home team.

Off go Lewis-Skelly and Calafiori.

On come Zubimendi and Hincapie.

Arsenal thought they were in there as Saka robs Fofana in midfield and the break is on, but the ref gives a foul. The Gunners players disagree.

High ball into the Arsenal box from goalkeeper Martinez falls to Palmer who takes it well and hits a snapshot on his right foot. It’s well struck but straight at Raya.

Gusto has a very early chance after coming on. Rogers lays the ball back to him from the right to the edge of the box and the Frenchman curls an effort over.

Often a right-back, Gusto has gone into midfield with James.

Off go Hato and Lavia for Chelsea.

Chavarria and Gusto come on.

It’s a booking for Tzolis for requesting the ref book Lacroix. The Chelsea defender is also booked for the initial foul on the Greek.

Malo Gusto is getting ready to come on for Chelsea, as is Pep Chavarria.

Great chance for Chelsea on the break there as Calafiori gives the ball to Palmer in midfield. Rogers bursts forward but has a heavy touch, allowing Konsa the chance to make the challenge, which he does with a spectacular slide tackle. Crowd loved that.

Arsenal having a lovely time now. A long pass from White finds Havertz who instigates some intricate play just outside Chelsea’s box. It comes to nothing but the Gunners are feeling themselves.

Chelsea’s defence was ‘cut to shreds and dismantled’ with that Odegaard goal, says Gary Neville on Sky.

Arsenal now have their tails up and are coming for more.

It’s loud at the Emirates.

Arsenal are ahead through their captain!

Superb stuff from the Gunners there. Tzolis has the ball on the left, heads inside and plays the ball, seemingly to Havertz, but the German lets it go and Odegaard is there to power the ball past Martinez as he steams into the box.
