Arsenal have won their anticipated Premier League encounter against Chelsea by 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Blues took an early lead in the 2nd minute, courtesy of a volley from new signing Morgan Rodgers.

At the 12th-minute mark, the Gunners struck an equaliser, but the Video Assistant Referee ruled Konsa offside

Former Chelsea striker Kai Havertz eventually pulled the equaliser for the home team at the 25th minute.

The German received the pass from Declan Rice. He then pulled to the right and drove the ball inside before latching a low effort towards the near post.

Five minutes after the second half commenced, club captain Martin Odegaard scored the winner for last season’s defending champions.

With Havertz playing a dummy on the ball, Arsenal’s new signing, Christos Tzolis’s ball was met by Odegaard, who delivered a slamming effort to bag the winner.

Alexander Isak struck twice inside the opening nine minutes as Liverpool secured their first English Premier League victory of the season with a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town on Friday.

The Swedish forward put the visitors in control almost immediately, ending a tense opening spell with two clinical finishes that gave Liverpool a comfortable cushion before the hosts could settle.

Liverpool needed only six minutes to break the deadlock. Cody Gakpo created the opportunity with his effort forcing a save, but Isak reacted quickest to the rebound and fired home.

Three minutes later, Gakpo again turned provider, picking out Isak on the left. The striker made no mistake, sending a low effort into the bottom corner to double Liverpool’s advantage.

The two goals took Isak’s season tally to three in as many league appearances, already matching the number he managed throughout the whole of the previous campaign.

With the visitors firmly in command, Ipswich struggled to create clear-cut opportunities, while Liverpool concentrated on protecting their advantage after the interval.

The Reds appeared to have earned a chance to extend their lead when they appealed for a penalty in the second half, but the decision was overturned after a VAR review found an offside in the build-up.

Ipswich pushed forward late in search of a way back into the contest, but Liverpool’s defence held firm and the hosts were unable to produce the finishing touch required to trouble the visitors.

The victory extended Liverpool’s unbeaten run at Portman Road to seven matches and delivered their first clean sheet of the campaign.

The result also gave coach Andoni Iraola his first clean sheet since taking charge during the summer.

Liverpool’s three points moved them into fifth position in the Premier League standings with five points from three matches.
