After leading after 10 minutes, Arsenal quickly found themselves 3-1 down. Bukayo Saka gave them the lead with a smart finish but a swift and spirited fightback saw Tino Anjorin, Daishawn Redan and Josh Grant all find the net before the midway point of the first period. A two-goal cushion was never going to be comfortable in a game like this and the Gunners soon starting to chip away at our lead. Danny Ballard headed in from a corner to make it 3-2 before Eddie Nketiah equalised before the break. There was a brief period of midfield control at the start of the second half but that didn't last for long. Conor Gallagher and Nketiah exchanged goals around the hour mark before Billy Gilmour won it for the Blues late on with a precise finish into the bottom corner. It helped us leapfrog Arsenal into third, four points behind league leaders Everton. Manager Joe Edwards made six changes from a superb win at Plymouth in the Checkatrade Trophy in midweek as both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ethan Ampadu came into the team, as well as Charlie Wakefield for his first competitive action following a lengthy injury layoff. Ampadu started at centre-back alongside Marc Guehi in a reworked back four, with Grant at right-back and Juan Castillo on the left in front of goalkeeper Jamie Cumming. In midfield, Anjorin's recent good form was rewarded with a first development squad start next to Gilmour and Gallagher. Redan led the line up front supported from wide by Wakefield and Hudson-Odoi. https://i.imgur.com/jwrOeLR.jpg

The Gunners started the day three places above the Blues in the Premier League 2 table, having made a positive start to the defence of their league title, and had not lost in this London derby in the previous four meetings. Yet it was the visitors who started brightest on a fresh winter's afternoon in Boreham Wood. Wakefield's impact from the right wing was demonstrated early on as an inviting cross was delivered into the six-yard box but evaded the supporting cast in the box. It marked a good start for the young Blues but they fell behind inside 10 minutes as Freddie Ljungberg's side scored with their first attack, Saka slotting into the corner after escaping in behind from the left. It could have been 2-0 moments later as a short corner routine paid dividends for the hosts and the ball was worked cleverly to the feet of Eddie Nketiah on the edge of the box, though the striker's first-time strike flew narrowly over Cumming's crossbar. https://i.imgur.com/A0rSeIp.jpg

Nketiah fires narrowly over the bar for the Gunners However, the Chelsea response was swift and emphatic, turning the scoreline around with three goals in five minutes. The equaliser owed much to the errors of Arsenal, though Anjorin deserves credit for hassling Deyan Iliev, the goalkeeper, in possession. The Macedonian hesitated as the ball rolled towards the box and our 16-year-old midfielder pounced, stealing the ball and tucking it into an unguarded net for his ninth goal of the season. Edwards's side had the lead a minute later with a goal constructed with pure simplicity, Wakefield whipping in a perfect cross for Redan, who stole ahead of the defenders and headed in from six yards out. Arsenal were wilting and we quickly sensed the opportunity to build a cushion in the contest. Captain Grant provided the decisive intervention for our third, rising highest in the box to head in a corner from the right and make it 3-1 after just 18 minutes played. https://i.imgur.com/TU1oMQe.jpg

Josh Grant heads in our third goal The home side persevered with their open style of play, which left spaces to exploit but also ensured they remained a constant attacking force. Grant was put to work in more familiar territory to preserve our advantage, hooking off the line with Cumming beaten, before Ballard headed straight at our keeper from the resulting corner. Set-pieces proved a regular source of worry for Edwards and it proved the downfall for his side after half hour as Ballard's thumping header arrowed into the top corner, leaving Cumming with no chance. Goals are usually on the menu when these two London rivals meet and chances continued to be fashioned down both ends of the field. Cumming had to make an impressive save to deny Nketiah and push the ball behind, while his opposite number Iliev was brave in diving at the feet of Anjorin after the teenager had nicked the ball high up the pitch again, this time from defender Zech Medley. Neither side had the capacity for control in an end-to-end encounter but it was the defending league champions who looked likeliest to score next before the interval. Nketiah teed up Charlie Gilmour to take aim from 20 yards out but the midfielder's finish sliced wide, before Nketiah himself made no mistake in making it 3-3. It was a clever finish from the forward, whose quick footwork evaded the goalkeeper after Saka's low shot had been parried. Half-time provided a brief reprieve to the game's ferocious tempo and the restart was more measured as both teams tried to settle down. It took 12 minutes before a clear opportunity was fashioned and it came courtesy of Hudson-Odoi as the winger jinked infield from the left and hit the outside of the far post with a curling effort. A chaotic contest soon resumed though with two goals in two minutes. Gallagher made it 4-3 with a brilliant free-kick bent over the wall and into the top corner but Nketiah quickly levelled, exploiting the goalscorer's short pass back to the keeper and beating Cumming to net his second of the afternoon. https://i.imgur.com/JXj16Fv.jpg

Gilmour fires in the winner for the Blues The final 20 minutes gave both sides the platform to turn one point into three and it was Edwards's side who looked most likely to prove victorious. Iliev did well to tip Hudson-Odoi's stinging drive over before Gallagher missed the target at the near post after a neat move involving Castillo and Hudson-Odoi down the left. The final goal of a manic afternoon came with 82 minutes on the clock as Scotland Under-21 international Gilmour bagged his seventh goal of the campaign with a rasping strike into the bottom corner, beyond the despairing dive of the goalkeeper. Edwards's side defended better in order to hold on to the advantage and maintain their 100 per cent league record on the road. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2018/11/5/pl2-reaction--crazy-game PL2 reaction: Crazy game 05 Nov 2018 Joe Edwards reflected on mixed emotions after seeing his side claim the Premier League 2 points in spite of a series of defensive errors away at Arsenal. https://i.imgur.com/kyOgXb5.jpg

A chaotic contest swung both ways as the Blues recovered from an early deficit to lead 3-1 before going in level at the break. A brief period of calm in the second half didn't last for long before three further goals settled the game, with Billy Gilmour winning it late on with a drive from outside the box. Afterwards, Edwards admitted the visitors were fortunate to come away with the points that helped them leapfrog the Gunners into third. 'It was a crazy game and one you might think would be great for the neutrals but I thought there was a lack of quality, particularly at the back, which is so strange when you're talking about two of the best footballing teams in the league and a pitch full of talented players,' he told the official Chelsea website. 'I've seen a lot of Chelsea versus Arsenal academy games over the years but rarely have I seen so many sloppy and silly mistakes and when you have quality attacking players up either end of the pitch, those mistakes are going to be punished. It was a defensive nightmare for both teams in the first half. 'In terms of shape and trying to defend as a team, both sides were well set and it was making it cagey and difficult to play through. However, in and around the defensive third, both teams were poor. We gave away three goals in the first half that we were furious with ourselves about but we were actually grateful to come in level and still look like we had a decent chance of winning the game.' The positives were the points, another five-goal haul four days after a 5-0 Checkatrade Trophy win at Plymouth and a resilient reaction to a below-par first half display. 'The response in the second half was good, after some very harsh words from me at half-time,' continued Edwards. 'We were definitely better after the break, without being anywhere near our best. Our togetherness as a team was also a positive and you couldn't question the work-rate because physically the boys really put a shift in again. 'To score five goals is always a plus because we've had some home games this season where we haven't looked like scoring. We're here for results as well as development and performances so we'll take coming away from home and beating a strong team like Arsenal, though we certainly know we're better than that.'

Results have been predominantly positive and Edwards believes the group have coped well with the physical and mental demands. 'It's been harsh but good,' he said about the busy programme. 'You only have to follow the Championship and the Premier League to know this is what it's like in the real world so it's a good experience for the players. We've played a lot of games but the players look strong and like they can keep going so physically I think we've coped really well. 'This was our final PL2 game for a few weeks so it was nice to get some more points on the board because the league is very competitive. Now hopefully we can finish off this busy period with a good performance and result in Sweden in the UEFA Youth League.' Edwards takes his Under-19s to IF Elfsborg this week for the second round of the UEFA Youth League domestic champions pathway.
