Chelsea on Sunday, December 29, came back from a goal down to beat London rivals Arsenal 2-1 in a tough Premier League encounter played at the Emirates stadium.

Arsenal who were the hosts took the lead in this tie through Gabonese striker Pierre Aubameyang before Chelsea bounced back after the break to get the three maximum points.

First, goalkeeper Bernd Leno committed an error that gave Chelsea the equalizer through Jorginho who tapped in easily.

And less than five minutes later the Blues took the lead when Abraham converted Willian’s low cross from a blistering counter-attack.

Tammy Abraham celebrated by pumping his arms out and knee sliding in front of the traveling fans much like a former Chelsea legend Drogba used to do when he was playing for the Blues.

When Ivorian star Didier Drogba was at Chelsea, he used to torment Arsenal in which many Gunners fans do not like seeing him.

Didier Drogba scored 13 goals against Arsenal during his time in London.

He, however, sent Tammy Abraham a message after scoring his first goal against Arsenal at the Emirates.

“I get goosebumps replaying this goal and the celebration after @tammyabraham. @ChelseaFC what a win at the Emirates come on you bluuuues!!!!!!! #ARSCHE” Drogba tweeted.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how two late goals from Jorginho and Tammy Abraham inspired Chelsea to a dramatic comeback in Sunday's Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.

The Blues ran off with a 2-1 victory over Arsenal having trailed for the most part of the match before the Brazilian-Italian midfielder leveled up for the visitors.
