Chelsea drew 1-1 with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge thanks to Pedro Neto’s first Premier League goal.
The London rivals entered the game tied on points, and for an hour, there was nothing separating them on the field either. Kai Havertz’s goal against his old team was disallowed by VAR for offside, then Malo Gusto wasted a great opportunity for the Blues.
On the hour mark, Gabriel Martinelli hammered a finish past Robert Sanchez at the near post, and Martin Odegaard, who had returned to the starting lineup, dinked a pass to the back post, breaking the tie.
However, the Gunners were unable to snap a four-match losing streak in the Premier League when Neto took advantage of a gap 20 yards away and hammered a low shot into the bottom corner.
Liverpool will be happy with the outcome, as Arne Slot’s team leads Arsenal and Chelsea by nine points going into the international break.
