Arsenal player ratings vs Chelsea as Martin Odegaard shines on return and Partey good

Arsenal dropped more points in their quest for the Premier League title as they were held to a 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The Gunners probably were just about the better side in a low key first half and could have been in front if VAR hadn’t intervened to rule out Kai Havertz’s goal for offside.

But it was Chelsea who had the more presentable opportunities. Malo Gusto went closest, heading the ball over the bar from inside the six yard box after a superb cross from Pedro Neto.

That changed after the whistle though as Arsenal began to create. Gabriel Martinelli was able to poke in at the back post to give the Gunners the lead after a superb lob from the returning Martin Odegaard.

The lead would last just 10 minutes though as Neto found acres of space on the edge of the box before finishing hard and low to level the scores.
