First half goals from Oscar and Federico Fernandez (og) had put the champions in control but Andre Ayew, making his Premier League debut, pulled one back after a half hour.
15 minutes into the second half, Bafetimbi Gomis was played through by a pass from Jonjo Shelvey and Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois caught the Frenchman late just inside the box.
Referee Michael Oliver handed the Belgian stopper a straight red card before pointing to the spot.
Asmir Begovic, who arrived in the summer to replace Arsenal-bound Petr Cech, was called into action but couldn’t keep out Gomis’ spot-kick.
