Manchester City went ahead against the Gunners after 14 minutes last week,  and Chelsea needed just nine to find the net, with Pedro finishing coolly from  12 yards after being teed up by Alonso. It was 2-0 after 20 minutes when  Morata turned away from Shkodran Mustafi and fired low past Petr Cech, just a  minute after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, starting as the lone striker once more,  had blazed over the crossbar with the goal gaping. Mkhitaryan produced  almost a carbon copy of Aubameyang's miss but made amends with a fine  left-footed strike to get the away side back into the game, and Iwobi thumped  high into the net from the Armenia winger's cross to level the scores before the  break and leave the home crowd shell-shocked. The Blues suddenly looked  in disarray and could have been behind heading into half-time had Aubameyang and  Iwobi been more accurate when finding space among a ragged Chelsea defence.   It was Sarri's men who looked the most likely to break the deadlock in a more  scrappy second half, though, and they did just that with 81 minutes played, as  Alonso finished with aplomb following fine work from substitute  Hazard.</blockquote>
