LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM.- Arsenal drew 2-2 at Chelsea, having to come back to avoid their first defeat in the championship, and retain provisional second position in the Premier League on matchday 10 of the English league.
Unrecognizable in the first half and prone to unusual defensive errors, the ‘Gunners’ had to equalize two goals against, cooling the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge in the last half hour.
The Blues headed towards their third consecutive victory in the Premier League with a penalty converted by Cole Palmer (15) and a sensational lob by the Ukrainian Mykhailo Mudryk from outside the area (48), helped by the passivity of William Saliba, already the author of the hand punished with the penalty.
But Chelsea’s defense was also generous, with a clearance by Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sánchez that was too weak, which Declan Rice took advantage of to close the gap (77)
Six minutes after entering the field, Belgian Leandro Trossard tied the game by taking a cross from Bukayo Saka to the far post (84), right in front of the Gunners fans.
Mikel Arteta’s team showed once again that they have character, two weeks after achieving a 1-0 victory against Manchester City also in the final stretch.
Arsenal is second with 21 points, equal with the leader City and with one more than Liverpool and Tottenham, who could regain first position on Monday, if they win at Fulham.
Chelsea, for its part, is ninth, eight points off the podium.
