da blaze casino： Chelsea passed their first big test under new boss Maurizio Sarri on Saturday as they ran out 3-2 winners over Arsenal in an entertaining game at Stamford Bridge.
da spicy bet： It was a day of sweeping attacking moves that were just as good as the defending from both teams was bad and one of the stand-out performances for the home side came from winger Pedro. The Spaniard is beginning to look undroppable after he once again started ahead of Eden Hazard following the Belgian’s late return from World Cup duty.
The ex-Barcelona man has quality in abundance and proved it to Sarri on the opening weekend with a deft chip over Ben Hamer as Chelsea thrashed Huddersfield 3-0 to get their Premier League campaign off to the perfect start.
Chelsea picked up where they had left off at Huddersfield on Saturday as Marcos Alonso latched onto an inch-perfect through-ball from summer signing Jorginho and squared to Pedro. The 31-year-old made no mistake from 13 yards out and swept the ball past former Chelsea man Petr Cech to give the Blues the lead after just nine minutes.
Pedro followed his goal with a hugely impressive performance off the right-hand side of the front three. He peppered the Arsenal goal with five further shots and provided two key passes to create chances for his teammates.
Chelsea stretched their lead after 20 minutes through Alvaro Morata as he twisted Shkodran Mustafi inside out and slotted the ball past Cech.

Arsenal mounted a spirited comeback though and drew level before half-time had even come with goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi.
Hazard eventually did come on after an hour with the game poised at 1-1, but it was Willian who the superstar replaced before providing the assist for Marcos Alonso’s winner.
Pedro’s three tackles also highlighted the work he got through for his side and why he must remain in Sarri’s starting XI for the away trip to Newcastle next weekend.
