Chelsea captain Reece James believes his “dominant” side made a statement in holding Premier League leaders Arsenal to a 1-1 draw despite losing Moises Caicedo to a first-half red card.
The Blues had been the better team at Stamford Bridge prior to the sending-off of Caicedo in the 36th minute for a studs-up tackle on the ankle of Mikel Merino, then battled successfully with 10 men to prevent the visitors getting on top.
