LONDON — The Chelsea vs Arsenal player ratings were intriguing to dish out as a wild and fiery London derby between title contenders played out at Stamford Bridge, and ended even. Moises Caicedo was sent off in the first half but 10-man Chelsea took the lead early in the second when Trevoh Chalobah headed home.
A wrench was thrown into Arsenal’s plans before kick-off with William Saliba ruled out with a knock adding to their injury concerns. Cristhian Mosquera partnered Piero Hincapié in defence, while Viktor Gyökeres and Gabriel Jesus were both back in the matchday squad.
Arsenal lined up in a Premier League game without either Gabriel or William Saliba for just the second time in 162 games on Sunday after an injury to the Frenchman.
Ten-man Chelsea's lead lasts just 11 minutes as Mikel Merino heads Arsenal level with the Blues in the second half at Stamford Bridge.
