Premier League: Marcos Alonso Wrecks Arsenal As Chelsea Win 3-2

Arsenal's manager Unai Emery is yet to record his first Premier League match win since he replaced former manager Arsene Wenger, as his team were defeated 3-2 by Chelsea at Stanford Bridge stadium. 
The Spaniard-led team did not go down easy in a match that was dominated by the hosts Chelsea, recovered from two goals deficit in the first half, eventually, they caved in to defeat from Marcos Alonso's strike late into the match. 
Chelsea led the score-line early into the match from Pedro's left-footed shot in the box after Marco Alonso let a through pass to him in 9th minutes, and Alvaro Morata soon doubled the lead in 20th minutes from Cesar Azpilicueta's assist with a through pass. 
That lead from the hosts did not last as Arsenal responded to it through Henrikh Mkhitaryan's long-range shot from outside the box in 37th minutes before Alex Iwobi drilled the ball home for an equaliser in 41st minutes from Mkhitaryan's assist. 
Expectations was that both teams are going down a point apiece as the game went on even on score-line until Eden Hazard made his way through Arsenal's defence and crossed the ball through to Marcos Alonso who smashed a left-footed shot to the post for the winning goal.  
Arsenal did make efforts to score even more goals late in the first half through Patrick Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan but both could not just nailed in a third before time runs out. 
Chelsea's Italian manager, Maurizio Sarri, has claimed his second match victory since joining the club as replacement for Antonio Conte, his team lead temporarily in the table by 6 points.
