Arsenal manager Unai Emery’s baptism of fire continued with a 3-2 loss to Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea side in Saturday’s late kick-off at the Stamford Bridge. The Gunners were beaten 2-0 by Manchester City at the Emirates last time out, and their wait for a first point of the new era continues after Marcos Alonso converted a late winner at Stamford Bridge. Maurizio Sarri’s side stormed into a 2-0 lead in the first half through Pedro Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata, but Arsenal hit back via goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi to level the scores before the break.…

Henrikh Mkhitaryan pulled a goal back for the Gunners on 37 minutes and four minutes later set up Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi to equalize. Chelsea opened the scoring when summer signing Jorginho, making his home debut, released Marcos Alonso, who raced down the left and squared the ball for Pedro to score with ease. It came shortly after Arsenal went close to scoring against the run of play when Mesut Ozil shot inches wide after being found by Nacho Monreal’s cross. After Pedro’s ninth-minute goal, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was denied by a near-post save from keeper Kepa and then, a…

Conte had a torrid time in dealing with the Gunners, for whatever reason, winning just once in eight tries across all competitions. Sarri certainly did not have a fully fit squad at his disposal last weekend, with Eden Hazard starting just…
