Arsenal set a Premier League record following their 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

According to Opta, Arsenal are the first team ever to win 10 Premier League games away at Chelsea, while they’re just the second visiting side to win three in a row at Stamford Bridge after Blackburn Rovers (1993-94 to 1995-96).

Meanwhile, Martin Keown and Scott Parker blamed Chelsea forward Kai Havertz for Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.

Speaking about the goal Chelsea conceded to Arsenal, Parker told BT Sport: “You’re always massively disappointed when you concede from a set-piece.

“Arsenal are certainly good at scoring set-piece goals and that’s something we prepped for [before Fulham’s 2-1 defeat at the Emirates in August].

“I don’t know why Havertz has gone so far forward before the corner. If he goes deeper he can come on to it, instead he starts high and then starts running back and then he’s got a lot to deal with.”

Arsenal legend Keown added: “Kai Havertz has got to do better there. He swings a lazy leg at that.”
