Pedro Neto scored his first Premier League goal for Chelsea to rescue a point for the hosts against Arsenal on Super Sunday.
Kai Havertz thought he’d put Arsenal in front after 34 minutes and preceded to shush the home ers he played for from 2020-2023 – before VAR ruled it out for offside.
Gabriel Martinelli broke the deadlock on the hour for the visitors, receiving a from Martin Odegaard on the byline and poking home from a tight angle.
Chelsea fired back ten minutes later through Neto, taking an Enzo Fernandes in his stride and launching one into the bottom corner out of David Raya’s reach.
Arsenal couldn’t believe they hadn’t snatched the spoils at the death when Leandro Trossard tipped William Saliba’s cross out of the reach of Havertz who had an open goal to tap into.
The result leaves both London clubs level on points after 11 games with 19 each as Chelsea occupy third and Arsenal sit in fourth.
WATCH: Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal Highlights
According to the best football betting sites, Arsenal are a best-price 4/1 to win the Premier League this season while Chelsea are a bigger 20/1 chance.
Chelsea are enjoying a steady start to the season under new manager Enzo Maresca and apart from a few blips, they look to be getting their act together.
It’s another disappointing result for the Gunners who have failed to record a victory in their last three outings in all competitions following straight defeats to Inter and Newcastle.
Liverpool have been by a long way the best side in the country and they are deserved title favourites which would stop Manchester City’s bid for five in a row.
Arsenal are now unbeaten in all 14 of their Premier League games against ‘big six’ opponents since the start of last season, tallying seven wins and seven draws.
