    FT: Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal. Despite the Blues going in at half-time 1-0 up thanks to a Cole Palmer penalty and Mudryk extending the lead in the second half, the Gunners did not throw in the towel. A great reaction from Arteta's side was enough to restore parity. Declan Rice capitalised on a great mistake by Sanchez to pull one back and super-sub Trossard scored a late equaliser.
