Lucas Torreira scores OUTRAGEOUS chip in Arsenal training
Chelsea led 2-0 after 20 minutes through goals from Pedro and Alvaro Morata before Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi drew the Gunners level before half-time.
But the great comeback was ended when Eden Hazard set up Marcos Alonso for the winner nine minutes from time.
Arsenal’s players made their way to the Shed End at the final whistle where they were applauded by their travelling fans.
But Juan Carlos Carcedo - Unai Emery’s assistant head coach - was in no mood for adulation.

Instead, he approached Torreira in a ‘clearly angry’ mood, according to Football.London.
It’s said that Carcedo was upset with the way Alonso was allowed to get away from him to score the winner.
The pair were seen in deep discussion for over a minute with Carcedo pointing to the area of the pitch where the goal came from.
The coach then turned and returned to the changing room leaving Torriera to applaud the Arsenal fans again.

Unai Emery has had a difficult start as Arsene Wenger's successor at Arsenal, losing to Manchester City and now Chelsea.
But the Spaniard took encouragement from the Gunners' response to their early concessions.
"Their reaction was a very good reaction," Emery said.
Arsenal might have led at the interval, but for missed chances by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan.

He added: "The first half we created more chances to score - 2-2 is also maybe short for us, because we created more chances (than Chelsea).
"I was calm when I saw my team creating chances. Goal, no goal, we need to continue working.
"Today, with Auba, I know he can play. Maybe there's one moment where he misses three good chances, but another where they'll score three chances that are less clear. I am calm with that."
