Arsenal beat Chelsea in thriller thanks to Eddie Nketiah brace

A brace from Eddie Nketiah propelled Arsenal firmly back into the fight for a Champions League place courtesy of a 4-2 win over Chelsea in a breathless London Derby at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

Arsenal led twice in the first half, first through Nketiah and then Emile Smith Rowe, only to be quickly hauled back by Chelsea goals from Timo Werner and Cesar Azpilicueta.

But Nketiah added his second early in the second half and a Chelsea team featuring Romelu Lukaku leading the attack this time had no response.
