Chelsea vs Arsenal highlights: Frank Lampard's men falter again

Despite a draw, Chelsea could be considered to have played better amongst the two teams at Stamford Bridge. A mistake from Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi set Tammy Abraham free on goal, only to be brought down by David Luiz in the box. Luiz was left red-faced due his tackle and Jorginho calmly sent the ball beyond Bernd Leno for Chelsea's opener. Chelsea could have added more on the scoreboard but Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi both wasted their chances. 

Gabriel Martinelli pounced on a slip by Ngolo Kante and raced through to the goal, before sending the ball to the back of the net. Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta turned the unlikely goalscorer for the Blues when he tucked in Hudson-Odoi cross past Leno. Just as it appeared Chelsea could hang on to a lead, Hector Bellerin brought the Gunners back in the game after his left-footed shot curled past Kepa Arizzabalaga. The game ended at 2-2.
