Chelsea 2 Arsenal 4: Nketiah’s brace keep Gooners top four hopes alive
Eddie Nketiah scored his first Premier League brace Wednesday night as Arsenal got their top-four hopes back on track with an enthralling 4-2 victory over Chelsea.
Mikel Arteta’s faith in Nketiah was rewarded as the 22-year-old ended a wait for a league goal that stretched back to April 2021 with the opener at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
Timo Werner scored in consecutive Premier League games for just the second time in his Chelsea career to restore parity, before Emile Smith Rowe put Arsenal back in front.
Cesar Azpilicueta got another equaliser for Chelsea, but he was at fault for Nketiah’s second and a stoppage-time penalty from Bukayo Saka as Arsenal ended run of three straight defeats and went level on points with fourth-placed Tottenham.
Andreas Christensen’s bungled back pass was pounced upon by Nketiah and the attacker slotted a cool finish past Edouard Mendy to give Arsenal the lead in the 13th minute.
