Arsenal 3-2 Chelsea
Simone Boye (Arsenal) has to slide in to block a dangerous cross from the right as Chelsea are really starting to exploit these wide areas.

Five minutes to go!

Header from Sam Kerr (Chelsea)... Straight at the keeper! Big chance.

we’re not putting enough pressure on the ball when Chelsea have possession,so they have too much time to come up with good stuff

 

[SA Gunner]

We got this everyone, three points in the bag today.

The home fans are ready to celebrate. They have been a bit nervous in the last few minutes but as we head into stoppage time, they let out a roaring chorus of "Arsenal FC".

Chelsea are on the attack...
It's crossed in from the left, blocked in the middle and Fran Kirby chips it way over the bar.
The Arsenal fans roar "wahaaaay".

 

[lamby22]

Phew. Held on. That's a great win.

 

[NieThePiet]

FULL-TIME​

Arsenal 3-2 Chelsea
It's all over. The Emirates lets out a gigantic roar. What a performance from Arsenal and what a way to kickstart their season.
They have seen off the defending champions who lost only once in the league last season. Huge victory for Arsenal!


SIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Sounded like an excellent game, give it a few seasons, and we'll have more people watching our Women than our underperforming 'stars'.

 

[lamby22]

Our goals

FT: Arsenal 3-2 Chelsea

Seeing the quality, seeing the world class players we have at our disposal. Arsenal were at full tilt today, all the Arsenal fans can see the side have energy and a style. There is a real tactical nous about them, it was immaculate, a perfect performance from Arsenal.

Arsenal took a real pride about executing the little things. They will be exceptionally happy. Chelsea only conceded 10 goals all year last time and Arsenal have scored three today.

What a good feeling watching and enjoying an Arsenal game again!
Wish it was easier to get hold off though

Caught the game today, refreshing watch.

Like the way they attacked with great movement and flair and then when Chelsea took control of possession they adapted to a counter style seamlessly.

Lots of great blocks and players committing to the cause in order to defend the lead.

Most refreshing of all, no diving, rolling about, surrounding the ref, moaning about bad decisions and a nice offside goal in our favour

Women's game going from strength to strength, good to see.

Great game , 3 quality goals. First goal was Sanchezesque.

@SA Gunner fantastic work sir. Brilliant thread and updates. It was a glorious game. People aren't taking us seriously but I think Jonas is here to win things.

Aye, that is the problem. Not a stream to be found. Guess I'll have to try the FA one with a VPN next time.
