A 10-man Chelsea played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with Arsenal in Sunday’s Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.
Despite starting strong, Chelsea suffered a huge blow when influential midfielder Moise Caicedo was dismissed in the 38th minute following a reckless tackle on Merino.
However, Chelsea opened the scoring just two minutes into the second half thanks to Trevoh Chalobah.’s brilliant header to the delight of the home supporters.

The Gunners took just 11 minutes to equalise, and it came via the trusty head of Merino.
There would be no further goals, with a draw arguably the fair result in a match that looked like spiralling out of control following a chaotic first half that witnessed five yellows and a red card.
A win for the Gunners would have seen them head into the midweek fixtures with a seven-point lead at the top of the table.
