Thank you and goodnight
I'll leave the last word to the man who deserves it, Romelu Lukaku.
Asked to describe his performance today, the Belgian was short and to the point: "Dominant."
August 22, 2021 at 1:51 PM EDT
Tuchel has his say
"I had a feeling in the first half we lacked a bit of sharpness and were a bit passive. I think we had a long training week with double sessions and were a bit leggy. We deserved to win but still room to improve."
On Lukaku:
"I am very happy with how he has integrated already, a very smart guy who likes to be in the group. He is very democratic leader, talks to everyone, friendly and is totally competitive. He gives us something we did not have, to protect balls. You cannot start better than a goal and he assisted some chances.
"I didn't expect to much but I wanted to see his capability to adapt and to link up, that is what he did very good and the guys like to play with each other.
"I don't know if it is possible to manage games in the Premier League, in some moments it was too open. They created some overloads on each side and we had to overcome but we were in control defensively. We could create some chances. In the Premier League when you don't score the third or fourth you can never be sure."

Full time: Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2
Chelsea were better in every single area and never looked in the slightest bit of danger. They defended well in the second half but the hosts simply lacked quality. City up next for Mikel Arteta's team and that isn't going to be easy.
What a day for Lukaku, a debut goal on the second attempt. Chelsea look like they could be a serious force this season.
August 22, 2021 at 1:17 PM EDT
Arsenal fans heading for the exits
89 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: It's been men against boys today in truth. Arteta cuts a forlorn figure on the sidelines.
Werner replaces Havertz, classic German for German move from Tuchel.
August 22, 2021 at 1:11 PM EDT
Ziyech on for Mount
82 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: Another change for the visitors and it's a reminder of the stark difference in quality between these two squads.
A sobering start to the new campaign for the Arsenal supporters and you have to feel Chelsea have a serious chance of winning this title, such is their strength in depth.
August 22, 2021 at 1:07 PM EDT
What a save from Leno!
78 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: Utterly outstanding from the Arsenal goalkeeper to prevent Lukaku scoring again. The Belgian met Mount's cross but Leno pushed the ball against the bar when you were just waiting to see the net bulge. Stunning reflexes from the big German.
August 22, 2021 at 1:04 PM EDT
Arsenal cannot find a way through
75 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: While Arteta's men have given a decent account of themselves since the break, they've never really looked like scoring. Mendy has rarely looked troubled and Tuchel will be thrilled with what he's seeing.
August 22, 2021 at 1:00 PM EDT
Here comes Kante
71 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: James' shot is deflected over the top and that would have settled it.
Kante on for Kovacic, not a man the Arsenal players will be delighted to see enter the fray in a game they are chasing.
August 22, 2021 at 12:55 PM EDT
Aubameyang provides a spark
66 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: Much better from the hosts since the substitution but is it too little, too late?
Tavares on for the injured Tierney.
August 22, 2021 at 12:49 PM EDT
On comes Aubameyang
60 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: Aubameyang on for Saka and plenty inside the ground seem baffled by the removal of the England man.
August 22, 2021 at 12:48 PM EDT
Holding heads just wide
59 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: No easy passes for Arsenal since Chelsea are pressing brilliantly.
Holding has a free header six yards out but it goes wide. It really should have been his first Premier League goal for Arsenal.
Better from the hosts.
August 22, 2021 at 12:40 PM EDT
Better from Arsenal
51 mins- Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: The Arsenal players are working a bit harder and chasing lost causes and the fans are getting behind their team again.
Saka tries his luck with a thunderous drive from distance, the ball deflects off Alonso and Mendy tips it over the bar.
A goal for the hosts would be huge now.
August 22, 2021 at 12:34 PM EDT
We go again
47 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: The rain continues to fall and Arsenal are still struggling to get control of the ball. The home fans are not happy.
August 22, 2021 at 12:18 PM EDT
Half time: Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2
Unfortunately for Arteta and the Arsenal fans, that half (bar a bright start and finish) was pretty much exactly as expected. Both Arsenal centre backs have been booked and that doesn't exactly bode well.
Chelsea fully merit their two goal lead and the hosts have a mountain to climb in the second half.
August 22, 2021 at 12:15 PM EDT
Penalty appeal from Arsenal
41 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: We might have had a game on here but the referee and VAR decide Saka tripped over his own feet rather than being felled by James.
It's pouring with rain in North London and GCSE English literature students will recognise pathetic fallacy when they see it.
August 22, 2021 at 12:09 PM EDT
James doubles the lead!
34 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2: The Arsenal players getting nowhere near their men and they're well and truly punished.
Havertz and Alonso combined well on the left, Lukaku let it run before Mount found James on the right of the box. He smashed the ball past Leno for a superb team goal.
August 22, 2021 at 12:05 PM EDT
Mari booked
33 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 1: Even when Chelsea misplace a pass, they seem to regain possession almost immediately.
Arsenal with a spell of possession on the edge of the Chelsea box but it leads nowhere.
Mari booked for a daft tackle on Lukaku.
August 22, 2021 at 12:00 PM EDT
Lukaku looking sharp
28 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 1: That goal has well and truly killed any Arsenal momentum there was.
Lukaku looks sharp and his teammates are looking to play him in when they can. Mari does well as the Belgian attempts to turn on the edge of the box but the hosts are struggling to clear their lines.
August 22, 2021 at 11:54 AM EDT
Chelsea in charge
20 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 1: The visitors now look in total control. Lukaku heads one over the top and the atmosphere is in danger of turning toxic if the hosts concede again.
A rare Arsenal break sees Saka show too much of the ball to Azpilicueta and Chelsea clear with ease.
August 22, 2021 at 11:48 AM EDT
Lukaku scores!
14 mins - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 1: He's hardly touched the ball but Lukaku has his first goal for Chelsea! What a start for the big Belgian.
The move started with Lukaku holding the ball up and laying it off to Kovacic before it eventually found James on the right wing. He played the ball across goal and it was the simplest of finishes for the star signing with just his third touch.
Arsenal started well and their fans were in fine voice but that's a major blow.
August 22, 2021 at 11:41 AM EDT
Lukaku struggling to get involved
10 mins: The new/old signing hasn't seen much of the ball thus far and Arsenal have shown a lot more hunger than they did on the opening day. The hosts are finding some joy down the left hand side.
Lokonga looks like a proper player and boy will the home supporters be glad to see that.
August 22, 2021 at 11:36 AM EDT
James with a strike
5 mins: Xhaka blocks well with his head and he seemed to be in something of a daze, such was the ferocity of James' shot.
A brief delay before the game resumes.
August 22, 2021 at 11:32 AM EDT
We're underway
2 mins: Applause greets the players taking the knee and the game begins.
Arsenal with the first chance, Smith-Rowe working the keeper but it's a comfortable save. The hosts have started brightly.
August 22, 2021 at 11:20 AM EDT
Not long now
Only ten minutes until we get underway. Tuchel says Lukaku and Mount have linked up nicely in training but can they do it when it counts? We'll find out soon enough.
August 22, 2021 at 11:15 AM EDT
Arteta faces the cameras
Largely predictable stuff from the Arsenal manager (he's excited for the return of the fans, it should help the players, yada yada yada) but one thing to note is that White has corona when earlier the line was simply that he's ill.
August 22, 2021 at 11:05 AM EDT
Can Chelsea win the league this season?
Tuchel's side were brilliant in the Champions League final against Manchester City and emerged triumphant but can they overcome Pep Guardiola's team in the battle for the Premier League crown?
It won't be easy but the Chelsea players will surely feel the title is the top priority this season.

Ben White ruled out for Arsenal
Hello and welcome to wherever you are.
The bad news for Arsenal fans, and lately there doesn't seem to be any other kind, is that Ben White is unwell and therefor unavailable for selection.
It's another headache for Mikel Arteta and one he would gladly do without.
