ARSENAL stars Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and David Luiz joked around with rival Jorginho AFTER Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.
Goals from Jorginho and Tammy Abraham in the final seven minutes saw Frank Lampard’s men fight back to claim all three points at the Emirates.

However, Arsenal fans were convinced Jorginho should have been sent off earlier in the match with a second yellow card.
But the Italian was allowed to continue playing and won the free-kick for Chelsea’s equaliser before scoring the goal itself.
He also rallied the team forwards to help Abraham score the winner in North London.
Yet there didn’t seem to be any hard feelings from Aubameyang and Luiz, who both greeted Jorginho with a smile after both teams had returned to the dressing room at the end of the game.
Aubameyang even managed to swap shirts with Jorginho, while Luiz also caught up with Mateo Kovacic and N’Golo Kante.
When asked about his red card escape, Jorginho claimed he did nothing to warrant a second yellow.
He told Sky Sports: “It was not my fault. But in the end we play football not tennis.
“Contact is normal in football, it was a foul but no more I think.”
However, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta had harsher words for the incident, adding: “I think [the second yellow] is up to the ref but for me it’s very clear. That’s it.
“I blame my team [for the defeat]. We are responsible for everything we did wrong on that football pitch.
“The decisions we didn’t get right, obviously. The other things we cannot control or change them now.”
