At the Bird’s Nest Stadium, the Belgium star scored twice and set up another for Willian as Antonio Conte’s side showed they mean business in their title defence.
Chelsea looked a yard sharper than Arsene Wenger’s lads right from the off – and it was no surprise that they cruised into their lead.
But apart from that it was a decent workout from the Premier League champions.
They had played a behind-closed-doors friendly against Fulham but this was their first game on tour but they looked quicker than Arsenal.
Willian opened the scoring when he collected the ball from Batshuayi and surged towards goal before finishing off the post.
