His celebration got too much for one Arsenal fan, who shockingly launched a bottle in his direction.

The bottle, though, missed the Blues star who walked away from the incident unhurt.

The Arsenal fan who threw a bottle at James was condemned online.

James' defensive colleague Antonio Rudiger shared an image of himself throwing the bottle to the side of the pitch following Chelsea's second league win of the season.

James also had a role in the first goal, setting up Romelu Lukaku as he tapped home from close range to open the scoring.

Thomas Tuchel's side are now two wins from two league games.

They resume their league campaign away at Liverpool on Saturday.
