Chelsea dominated in the second half but failed to kill the game off, Martinelli managing to grab an equaliser in the 63rd minute. A quick Arsenal counter attack following on from a Chelsea corner led to the youngster galloping free towards goal, N’golo Kante slipping on the half way line leaving a clear path all the way to goal for Martinelli.
The Brazilian youngster becoming the first teenager to reach 10 goals for Arsenal in a season since Nicolas Anelka in 1998/99.

Chelsea responded well and thought they had snuck the win after Cesar Azpilicueta tapped the ball in from six yards out in the 84th minute. However Arsenal captain Hector Bellerin rescued a point in the 87th minute, the Spaniard hitting a shot from the edge of the box which managed to creep into the bottom left corner.
Bend it like Bellerin! ?

Frank Lampard will see the result as a very disappointing one with his team showing too much naivety, the Blues completely dominating possession and attempts on goal in the second half but still unable to close out the game.
10 man Arsenal showed incredible grit to stage a comeback and somehow managed to score two goals from two attempts during the full 90 minutes.
