Odegaard and Saka star - player ratings for Arsenal v Chelsea

Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates, with captain Martin Odegaard netting the decisive goal early in the second half.

WHAT HAPPENED
Chelsea took a shock lead inside two minutes through club-record £117m signing Morgan Rogers, who opened the scoring with a first-time volley. Kai Havertz — playing against his former club — equalised in the first half, and Odegaard restored Arsenal's lead shortly after the break with a composed finish.

PLAYER HIGHLIGHTS
- Martin Odegaard (8): Scored the winner and was praised for the quality of his deliveries from open play and set-pieces.
- Bukayo Saka (8): Caused problems from set-pieces, frequently won free-kicks in dangerous areas and saw a strong second-half effort saved.
- Kai Havertz (7): Converted his chance to equalise and was active at set-pieces; he also missed an earlier shooting opportunity.
- Morgan Rogers (7): Chelsea's most dangerous attacker, opening the scoring and later curling narrowly wide.
- David Raya (6): Beaten by Rogers' early finish but made a late, stunning save from Estevao Willian.
- Emiliano Martinez (5): Concern after an accidental head kick and was beaten at his near post for Havertz's equaliser, though he later produced a high-quality save from Saka.

Other notable performances included Arsenal defenders Ezri Konsa and Riccardo Calafiori (both 7) and substitute Martin Zubimendi, whose complete impact off the bench earned a 7 rating.
