The gunners, already without Zinchenko, miraculously escaped at the end of the match
Chelsea It’s a shame that I missed the victory over Arsenal in the home match of the 9th round English Premier League – 2:2.
The Blues looked more convincing for most of the game. Already in the opening, the hosts scored: Mikhail Mudryk’s header was stopped by William Saliba, and Cole Palmer converted the penalty.
Immediately after the break, the Ukrainian winger scored himself, sending the ball over the collar of visiting keeper David Raya with a cross from an acute angle. Alexander Zinchenko from Arsenal was no longer on the field by that time – Mikel Arteta replaced him at half-time.
Mudryk went to rest in the 66th minute. And without him, Chelsea could not retain the victory. The intrigue was revived by Robert Sanchez – the hosts’ goalkeeper gave the ball to Declan Rice, who hit the empty corner with a successful shot. After some time, fresh Leandro Trossard was ahead of everyone at the far post, finishing in Bukayo Saka’s cross.
In the remaining time, both teams had half a chance, but the match ended that way.
Chelsea temporarily moved into the top half of the table with a point. In the next round, Mauricio Pochettino’s team will host Brentford.
Arsenal, who are level on points with Man City at the top of the table, will host Sheffield United at the end of next week before playing away to Sevilla in the Champions League.
