Still Five Points Ahead

Arsenal travelled to Stamford Bridge, fell behind to a cheeky near-post flick from Trevoh Chalobah, fought back and left with a 1–1 draw that stretches their unbeaten run to 17 games.

Chelsea were reduced to ten men after Moises Caicedo’s reckless studs-up challenge on Mikel Merino, and Merino later rose to head home Bukayo Saka’s cross to level. Raya made key saves as Arsenal pressed for a winner that never came.

The point leaves Arsenal five clear at the top of the table — a mixed feeling of frustration and reality — before a busy week with Brentford at the Emirates and a tricky trip to Aston Villa.
