WATCH: Batshuayi brilliance downs Gunners
- Updated: July 22, 2017
Chelsea earned some consolation for May’s FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal with a 3-0 friendly win over the Gunners in Beijing on Saturday.
A terrific double from Michy Batshuayi followed a goal from Willian to secure the victory for Antonio Conte’s side in their second pre-season outing.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insisted beforehand that a game against their London rivals “is never a friendly”, but his side were punished for some slack defensive work by a ruthless Chelsea.
Willian and Batshuayi scored in quick succession in the first half, and the Belgian striker – undoubtedly with a point to prove following the club-record signing of Alvaro Morata – made it 3-0 with a sublime second-half strike, while Arsenal’s attack too often appeared laboured.
