"After a frantic opening 30 minutes in which Bukayo Saka tested Robert Sanchez and Enzo Fernandez looked dangerous at the other end, Caicedo saw red not long before half-time. Caicedo snapped in on Mikel Merino, but his studs were up and his challenge was late. After a VAR review, referee Anthony Taylor upgraded his initial yellow card to a red."
"Yet Chelsea started the second half brilliantly, with Trevoh Chalobah heading home from Reece James' excellent cross in the 48th minute. Arsenal restored parity 11 minutes later, though, with Saka getting the better of Marc Cucurella before crossing in for Merino, who headed in from close range. Seven of the Spain international's 10 Premier League goals have now come with his head."
Chelsea drew 1-1 with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge after Moises Caicedo received a red card just before half-time. Caicedo's studs-up, late challenge on Mikel Merino was upgraded from yellow to red after a VAR review. Trevoh Chalobah scored with a header from Reece James' cross in the 48th minute to put Chelsea ahead. Bukayo Saka crossed for Mikel Merino to head Arsenal level 11 minutes later; seven of Merino's ten Premier League goals have been headers. Robert Sanchez made a late diving save to deny Merino a second and secure Chelsea's point. Arsenal played most of the match with a numerical advantage but were held to a draw.
