Besides Manchester City, Arsenal are also not keeping pace with Liverpool in the Premier League title race. The Gunners did not find their way to victory during the derby at Chelsea (1-1).
Despite the return of its superb playing master Martin Odegaard, Arsenal failed to win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (1-1) during the London derby on the program for the 11th day of the Premier League, Sunday. The Blues have a second draw in the league and the Gunners have only taken two points from the last four matches, both finding themselves 9 points behind leader Liverpool! Manchester City are now 5 points behind after another defeat.
Arsenal really missed the boat since Mikel Arteta’s team managed to open the scoring in the den of CFC thanks to Gabriel Martinelli, found all alone at the far post by Odegaard (60th). Arsenal’s domination rewarded (12 shots to 6 before the goal).
Arsenal are completely cracking
But the North Londoners collapsed a few minutes later after a catastrophic defensive action at this level. On a placed attack from Chelsea, Declan Rice and Thomas Partey both remained in defense (with William Saliba then shifted to the right), leaving Arsenal without any number 6 in this sequence. Pedro Neto took the opportunity to be served in the interval and score with a sharp shot from the left (70th).
Arsenal subsequently failed to secure victory. As the end of the match approached, Buyako Saka was injured (81st) and Leandro Trossard did not convert two match points (87th and 96th)! After the international window, Chelsea and Arsenal will try to get back to winning ways against Leicester and Nottingham respectively (the surprising 5th in PL).
