Frank Lampard’s team got the better of Arsenal 2-1 away from home at the Emirates Stadium in North London on Sunday.
The Gunners took the lead in the Premier League game through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang when the 30-year-old Gabon international striker found the net with a header.
Late Comeback
Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno misjudged Mason Mount’s free kick in the 83rd minute, and Jorginho pounced on it to make it 1-1.
Chelsea wrapped up the three points with their second goal of the game just four minutes later when England international striker Abraham turned central defender Shkodran Mustafi in the Gunners’ penalty spot and put the ball home past Leno.
The 22-year-old has taken to Twitter to revel in the win for Chelsea and has thanked the travelling fans for their support.
