Sakar scored a great goal in the 56th minute to make the score 3-0. The English midfielder’s shot from the right hit the goalkeeper’s head on a far post and caught the net.
The gap could have widened in the 65th minute. Goalkeeper Eduan Mandi returned a Martinelli shot from inside the area. Mohamed Elnani’s shot returned to the crossbar in the 64th minute.
Abraham closed the gap with five minutes to the end of the allotted time. The linesman first raised the offside flag, but decided to change the VAR.
Chelsea received a penalty for Mount Foul in additional time. But Georgino could not score a penalty, his shot was blocked by goalkeeper Bernard Leno.
Arsenal manager Arteta commented that the next three games of the big day are very important to understanding their position in the Premier League. At least his team got off to a great start by beating Chelsea.
