"Did this represent a Game You Just Have to Win Because Chelsea's Moises Caicedo Was Sent Off? Yes and no. The hosts will naturally be more pleased with a point in the context of the first-half red card, while Arsenal perhaps looked a little jaded and below their best overall. But Enzo Maresca's side were excellent throughout, despite having to play so much of the match with 10 men, and they deserved something from it."
"Joshua Zirkzee's clever finish from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick and Mason Mount's pile-driver made it 10 goals from set pieces so far this season the same as much-heralded Arsenal. Amorim acknowledged that having more time to work with his players during the week is starting to pay dividends, even if some of their routines may have a familiar feel about them."
Arsenal, as Premier League leaders, faced a physical Chelsea who had Moises Caicedo sent off in the first half yet still earned a point. Chelsea, coached by Enzo Maresca, played with 10 men for much of the match and performed excellently, deserving something from the fixture. Arsenal appeared slightly jaded but showed no obvious mental or structural weakness in a fierce derby, making the point fair. Manchester United produced a comeback at Selhurst Park with set-piece goals; their set-piece tally reached ten, matching Arsenal, with coaches acknowledging learning and borrowing routines from other teams to score.
