Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang equalised for the West London club in the 38th minute as the two London sides went into the half-time interval with a 1-1 scoreline.

Conor Gallagher came off the bench and scored a wonderful goal for Chelsea in the 90th minute as Graham Potter’s men ended up securing a hard-fought 2-1 win on their travels.
