In a classic game in London that was difficult for both teams, equal on points, the result did not punish the two teams so much, who even went up to the top-4, nine points behind Liverpool, but dropped distance to Manchester City, now four.
The draw ended in a lesser evil for the two in this 11th round, compared to the victory of Manchester City, Saturday in Brighton (2-1), and today at Nottingham Forest with Newcastle (3-1), with the team of Nuno Espírito. Santo dropping from third to fifth position.
At Stamford Bridge, the goals came in the second half, first Gabriel Martinelli (60 minutes), asked by Odegaard, who has not played for two months, and then by the Portuguese international Pedro Neto, with a beautiful shot before the half. moon, at 70.
Arsenal, who are going through a not so good phase in the championship and have two wins (Paris Saint-Germain and Shakhtar Donetsk), a draw (Atalanta) and the victory in the ‘Champions’ (Inter Milan), visit Sporting in the fifth . round, on November 26.
