Arsenal returned to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday to face Chelsea in a Premier League clash that would test the resilience of the Gunners. After conceding early, the team rallied to secure a 2‑1 victory, a result that prompted manager Mikel Arteta to praise the squad’s response and warn that the club must remain tighter if it hopes to challenge for the title.

The match began with Morgan Rogers scoring for Chelsea within the first minute, putting Arsenal under pressure for the first time this season.
