Thomas Partey got injured against Chelsea during a Pre-season game and now his team was humbled at home by the Blues on Sunday.
Club-record signing Romelu Lukaku scored and put in a dominant display on his second Chelsea debut as they beat Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates on Super Sunday.
Nearly 10 years after his first debut, £97.5m summer signing Lukaku registered his first goal for the club, tapping home at close range from Reece James’ ball across the face of goal (15) after the Belgian’s superb hold-up play had triggered the move.
James scored Chelsea’s second in the 35th minute as the team of Thomas Tuchel proved too strong for the Gunners who were without Ghana’s Partey.
Arsenal play Manchester City next weekend whilst Chelsea take on Liverpool.
