Sadly for Mikel Arteta’s side, the lead only lasted 10 minutes as Pedro Neto fired in Chelsea’s equaliser to level the scoreline. It was another frustrating outing for Arsenal, who extended their winless run in the league to four games.

Time and again the Gunners fashioned chances by pressing Chelsea as they played out from the back, with Odegaard central to it. Within the first hour in west London, Arsenal had managed 13 high turnovers. Against Liverpool and Newcastle they mustered just 10 each in the entire match.
