Chelsea avenged their FA Cup loss to Arsenal
last season with a dominant 3- 0 win in a pre -
season friendly game at the Bird ’ s Nest
Stadium in Beijing, China on Saturday .
Super Eagles duo , Alex Iwobi and Victor
Moses , were on from the start for Arsenal and
Chelsea respectively, while Nigerian - born
England U- 20 World Cup winner , Fikayo
Tomori , was brought on for the Blues in the
second half .
A brace from Michy Batshuayi and a goal from
Willian sealed the win for the Premier League
champions.
Chelsea edged the early part of the game
following a lovely pass from Cesc Fabregas to
the bright Victor Moses whose strike was
saved by David Ospina.
A few minutes later , a mistake from Ainsley
Maitland - Niles was almost punished by
Willian but the Brazilian forward effort went
inches off target .
Chelsea continued to dominate the game and
went close again , this time through Michy
Batshuayi but his left - foot shot was easily
claimed by Ospina.
In the 29 th minute Chelsea were forced into
an early change as Pedro Rodriguez was
forced off and replaced by youngster Jeremie
Boga after he collided with Ospina .
Arsenal had Ospina to thank as the Colombian
made two quick saves to deny Willian and
Moses to keep the game goalless .
Chelsea ’ s dominance eventually yielded a goal
but Batshuayi ’ s effort was flagged for offside.
Willian finally put Chelsea 1 - 0 in the 41 st
minute after cutting inside and curling his
effort which came off the post before ending
inside the back of the net.
In the 42 nd minute, Batshuayi made it 2 - 0
after sending a curling finish into the corner
off a fine assist from N ’ Golo Kante .
In added time , Aaron Ramsey had Arsenal ’ s
first real chance but was denied by Thibaut
Courtois .
