Chelsea and Arsenal played out a nervy 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, keeping the London sides level in the Premier League but still nine points adrift of leaders Liverpool.

In a closely fought contest, both teams had similar amounts of possession and three shots on target each.

Arsenal seemed more disappointed at the end of the match. Mikel Arteta looked particularly disbelieving after substitute Leandro Trossard missed two late chances.

Gabriel Martinelli put the visitors in the lead in the 60th minute, turning in a neatly lifted ball from captain Martin Ødegaard, whose return from injury proved crucial after the Gunners failed to score in their last two games.

Chelsea equalised 10 minutes later when substitute Enzo Fernández passed the ball to the ever-lively Pedro Neto just outside the Arsenal area. The Portuguese player stepped to one side and shot low to David Raya's left.

"We came to win, so we're not as happy as we wanted to be, but we didn't want to lose and it's a good point against a good team," Neto told Sky Sports.

Chelsea's Cole Palmer had a great start but his third-minute shot was saved by the ever-alert Raya.

Arsenal thought they had gone ahead in the 32nd minute when former Chelsea striker Kai Havertz latched on to a speedily taken free kick and sent the ball across Robert Sánchez into the bottom corner.

But the video assistant referee (VAR) showed that the German was just fractionally offside.

Sánchez had to be alert five minutes earlier, getting his hand to a shot from Martinelli.

Chelsea missed a couple of chances in the second half. Levi Colwill shot just over the bar and Noni Madueke fired high and wide.

As the minutes went by, Arsenal started to push forward. Sanchez managed to keep out substitute Mikel Marino, but Trossard fired over from close range.

In added time, William Saliba sent the ball across the six-yard box, but Trossard couldn't connect with it despite an open goal.

The result lifted Chelsea to third and Arsenal, who have gone four Premier League games without a win, to fourth in the table, both on 19 points.
