Chelsea stepped up their preparations for the new campaign with a 2-1 pre-season friendly win at Arsenal.
In the opening game of the first ever Mind Series – a mini pre-season tournament also including Tottenham and organised to raise money for the UK’s leading mental health charity Mind – Chelsea edged out hosts Arsenal at The Emirates.
Arsenal fans got their first glimpse of £50m signing Ben White who made his mark with three goal-line clearances in a 45-minute second-half appearance.
