Carragher: 'It will take Chelsea a while to get to this level'
Jamie Carragher, former Liverpool defender, Sky Sports:
We don't normally see Arsenal in these games, end-to-end, because they very rarely go behind. They're so strong defensively they don't need to get involved in those games.
They still didn't look like they were going to give too much away, even though they were bombing forwards and putting so many bodies in the opposition box.
Konsa: 'On another day we score three or four'
Ezri Konsa, Arsenal defender, Sky Sports:
On going 1-0 down:
On tackling Morgan Rogers:
'It feels like a significant win for Arsenal'
Oliver Holt at the Emirates:
Chelsea have already established themselves as pretenders to the throne and, even though it was a fine game, Arsenal dealt with the threat and swatted it away.
Odegaard: 'The result reflects our quality'
Martin Odgeaard, Arsenal captain, Sky Sports:
Our mentality is to keep fighting. We have shown that many times. We never want to concede early but the reaction is top. We got our reward in the end and the response was brilliant. We showed our quality with and without the ball and the result reflects that.

YOUR comments
- TonyTCClark: 2 - 1 the Arsenal get the job done 👏👏👏!!
- FunkSoulBrother: Yes!!!! Stay in your lane Chelsea!!! UP THE GUNNERS AND CHAMPIONS!!!!
- Why so serious: Early days for Alonso. Still plenty more to come. This peaked Arsenal team are nothing special, just a team full of dirty cry babies. It will definitely be a different story at the Bridge!
- djjimmy: We got done in the midfield. Reece and Lavia are no Caicedo and Enzo.
Wright: 'Arsenal aggressive and physical'
Ian Wright, former Arsenal forward, Sky Sports:
We were aggressive and physical. Any game you want to play against Arsenal, they’re ready to go.
Odegaard's progress
Much was made of Martin Odegaard's quiet campaign in Arsenal's title-winning season, but he has proven to be back so far this team.
He's scored twice in the league, having netted against Coventry too, and that's double what he managed in all of last season!

The current standings
And, just like that, the gameweek is over.
Here's how the current table looks, once again courtesy of our friends at Google.
Just two teams have a 100 per cent record; Arsenal and City.
Chelsea and, er, Hull, aren't far behind.
Neville: 'Alonso will be proud'
Gary Neville, former Manchester United defender, Sky Sports:
The question before today was, how close are Chelsea? And Alonso will be proud of what he has seen.
Arsenal take the spoils
Huge celebrations in the Arsenal dugout, and they know how big a win that is already so early on in the season.
The champions come from behind to win, and they had to work for that. A fantastic game, with worthy winners, I feel.
Plenty of reaction to come. But Arsenal go three from three. Chelsea lose for the first time this season.
FULL-TIME: Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea
Chelsea need to throw everything at this now, and they are.
Tzolis has the chance to play in Madueke but gets it wrong. Still, Arsenal keep the ball right where they want it.
Oh dear. Pedro's cross is headed well wide by Chavarria.
Merino is booked and James can send a final free-kick into the box.
He does... away by Konsa...
And that's it!
