Chelsea ended a three-match losing streak with two late goals in a 2-1 derby win at London rivals Arsenal on Sunday evening.
Frank Lampard’s manne trailed 1-0 with 10 minutes to go before strikes from Jorginho and Tammy Abraham turned the game on its head as Chelsea moved back into the Premier League top four.
Coming into his first game at the Emirates as Gunners boss, Mikel Arteta was looking for a perfect homecoming and first win after skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put his side ahead.
But instead Arteta saw his team drop to 12th in the Premier League with the defeat - in a run of just one win in their last 12 games.
The hosts found themselves in the lead after 13 minutes when Mesut Ozil’s corner was flicked on by Calum Chambers.

Aubameyang was first to react at the back post to head in from close range.
In a physical first half, the Blues picked up four yellow cards.
But after the break, Arteta’s team were doing all the chasing and looking to catch the Blues on the counter.
The Blues finally got their leveler with from a set piece in the 83rd minute when Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno was undone by the flight of a free kick for Jorginho to tap in unmarked at the far post.

Then four minutes later, Abraham got the winner when he took Willian’s cutback with his back to goal before swivelling to drill through Leno’s legs.
