In a thrilling English Premier League encounter, Arsenal orchestrated a stunning late comeback to salvage a point at Stamford Bridge on Saturday night, with the match marked by a Robert Sanchez goalkeeping error.
Chelsea took an early lead, with Cole Palmer converting from the penalty spot in the 15th minute. The penalty was awarded after a handball by William Saliba following a review by the video assistant referee.
Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea appeared to be cruising when they extended their lead to 2-0, thanks to a speculative effort by Mykhailo Mudryk that caught Arsenal’s goalkeeper David Raya off-guard three minutes into the second half.
For much of the game, Arsenal struggled to find their rhythm and create opportunities. However, with 13 minutes remaining, they were gifted a lifeline. Declan Rice capitalized on Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez’s poor clearance, sending the ball back into the net.
In an astonishing turn of events, Arsenal leveled the score just seven minutes later. Substitute Leandro Trossard made a significant impact by seizing an opportunity at the far post, capitalizing on Chelsea’s hesitation to deal with Bukayo Saka’s cross.
