The match held at "Stamford Bridge" between "Chelsea" and "Arsenal" turned out to be a real event, ending in a 1:1 draw. The game was full of tension and sharp moments until the very end.

Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring early in the second half, successfully finishing a combination with a pass from Martin Ødegaard, shooting into the near corner of Robert Sanchez's goal. But "Chelsea" quickly equalized: nine minutes later, Pedro Neto struck powerfully from outside the penalty area, sending the ball into the far corner of David Raya's goal.

Both teams had chances to snatch the victory. In the closing moments of the match, Leandro Trossard could have given "Arsenal" three points, but his shot went wide of the target. In added time, he again failed to convert a chance after a pass from William Saliba.

The return of Martin Ødegaard after injury was significant for "Arsenal" — the Norwegian not only strengthened the game but also provided an assist. "Chelsea" coach Enzo Maresca also experimented with the lineup, replacing captain Reece James with Marc Cucurella in the defense.

This draw left both teams among the leaders: "Chelsea" and "Arsenal" continue to fight for high positions in the table, while "Liverpool" confidently occupies the top spot with 28 points.
