Mikel Arteta praised Arsenal’s players for their “phenomenal” mental strength after they recovered from two goals down to earn a draw against Chelsea and maintain an unbeaten record at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League since 2018.
A first-half penalty from Cole Palmer and Mykhailo Mudryk’s cross-shot that embarrassed Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya had given the hosts a 2-0 lead before Declan Rice scored with 13 minutes remaining after capitalising on an error from Robert Sánchez. Substitute Leandro Trossard’s volley completed the comeback, with Eddie Nketiah coming close to snatching all three points for the visitors late on.
