Arsenal won the London derby against Chelsea 2-1. It was an exciting match in which Arsenal, the reigning champions, continued their perfect start to the Premier League.

Chelsea started strong and took the lead. However, Arsenal quickly regrouped and turned the deficit around thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard. This victory means Arsenal remains unbeaten in the league after three matchdays.

According to De Telegraaf, Chelsea aims to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City for the league title this season. Xabi Alonso's team, however, struggled more than expected against Mikel Arteta's strong lineup.

HLN reported that Christos Tzolis' assist led to the winning goal in the second half. Arsenal's winning goal confirmed their status as title defenders, while Chelsea remains with six points from three matches.

With this victory, Arsenal underscores its strong position and indicates that other teams, including Chelsea, need to improve to challenge the club's tradition.

In earlier matches, both teams won, but Chelsea cannot go beyond six points from the first three duels, while Arsenal continues to secure wins.
