Following Chelsea 2-2 draw against Arteta’s Arsenal we take a look at three lessons we learnt from the Stamford Bridge tie.

Bellerin Haunts Arsenal

Bellerin produced a magnificent showings as he crawled his side back in the game. Despite the injury he had in a long while, he portrayed well on the pitch to save the day for his side.

If Bellerin wouldn’t have scored, Arsenal would have been defeated as time was running out on the Gunners late in the game.

It was a special time for the Spaniard as he outline his potential, while also signifying his importance to Arsenal’s course as he’s been relatively missed for much of the season with injury, thus dealing a blow to Chelsea top 4 quest.

Brilliant Run From Martinelli

The young Arsenal star was at it again as he got the equalizer to give his team a chance in the contest.

We saw him running all the way from Arsenal’s half, passing through Chelsea midfieldier N’golo Kante in the half way line and netting the goal before Kepa Arrizabalaga on a impressive note.

It was a sweet counter attacking move from the Arsenal side as they capitalize from Chelsea’s defensive woes to find an equalizer.

This the teenager did score against Chelsea bringing his side back into the game much to the delight of the all the Arsenal faithful and new boss Mikel Arteta as well.

Jorginho Penalty To Perfection

As Chelsea was meant to take the lead, it beckoned on the Italian midfielder Jorginho yet again as he was handed the penalty responsibility by his manager Frank Lampard.

He stepped up and converted in aplomb giving Chelsea the deserved lead in the match like he’s already done countless times this season.

It was a sweet goal and a well taken penalty as the players score against Arsenal to their warm reception of the home (Chelsea) fans at the Bridge.
