Chelsea and Arsenal share points in the central match of the 24th round of the English Premier League.

A tense meeting at Stamford Bridge ended in a draw - 2: 2.

The home team got a significant 28 minute lead.. Defender of the “Gunners” Shkodran Mustafi made a gross mistake during the transfer of his goalkeeper and presented the ball to Tammy Abraham. In an attempt to save his own goal, David Louis did not come up with anything better than to bring down the “blue” striker at the cost of a red card.

Jorginho coolly scored a penalty and put Chelsea ahead. Having received a numerical advantage, the team of Frank Lampard dominated the football field, but Arsenal had to endure and wait for its moment.

In the 63rd minute, fortune smiled at the “Pushkar”. Gabriel Martinelli took advantage of the unexpected fall of N'Golo Kante and independently escaped to a counterattack, which he completed with an accurate shot past the goalkeeper. Five minutes before the end of regular time, the “blue” took the second time in the account - after a corner Hudson-Odoi shot on the goalkeeper line, and Cesar Aspilikueta sent the ball into the goal in the fall. Surprisingly, the team of Mikel Arteta again found the strength to restore parity. Hector Bellerin received a pass from Torreira, shifted to the center and put the ball into the far six with a perfect shot - 2: 2.

“Chelsea” with 40 points is on the fourth line of the Premier League standings, “Arsenal” is in tenth, having 30 points in its asset.

After the winter break, the team of Frank Lampard will play Leicester in the championship on February 1, and the Gunners will meet with Burnley on February 2. Before that, both London grandees will hold the FA Cup bouts - the “blue” will be awarded to the “Hull City” on January 25, and the “Pushkari” will be visiting Bournemouth the next day.
