As the referee's whistle blew, Arsenal launched a fierce attack on the visitors' goal to the onslaught of the home fans and made a fantastic start in the fifth minute, when Rice won the ball in midfield and drove the ball forward before distributing the ball to Leandro Trossard on the left, who fired low to give Arsenal a 1-0 lead.
Not satisfied with a one-goal lead for the Gunners, they continued to attack Chelsea, but Petrovic's high end saved the Blues time and time again, and Chelsea had a chance to equalise just before half-time, but Jackson's header from a team-mate's cross was not on target, allowing Arsenal to return to the dressing room with a one-goal lead.
Arsenal, who were back on the pitch, were still pressing heavily and did not want to give the Blues any hope of equalising or overtaking, and in the 52nd minute they did what they wanted, when a tactical corner was followed by a deflection from the edge of the penalty area before falling to Ben White, who fired into the far corner to easily extend the advantage to 2-0.
