Arsenal started the game on the front foot but it didn't take too long for Chelsea record signing Romelu Lukaku to tapped in from close range a Reece James cross 15th minute of play.
Reece James scored the second on the 35th minute from a Mason Mount assist.
Arsenal defence finds it so difficult to cope with Romelu Lukaku strength, this everyone expects Arsenal to have worked on before the game.
The match once again shows Arsenal frailties defending against opponents that are physically strong.
There were few glimpses from the Arsenal attacking players but it wasn't good enough to defeat a Chelsea team that is favourite to win the English Premier League title.
