James Says 10-Man Chelsea Could Have Won Against Arsenal

Chelsea fought to a 1-1 draw against league leaders Arsenal despite a red card to Moises Caicedo, with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez making key saves, Arsenal dropped two points.

  • Chelsea held league leaders Arsenal to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge despite playing almost an hour with 10 men after Moises Caicedo’s 36th-minute sending-off.
  • Moises Caicedo was sent off after 36 minutes for a studs-up challenge on Mikel Merino, with referee Anthony Taylor upgrading the yellow to a red following a pitchside review in a card-heavy first half.
  • A 48th-minute header from Chalobah, met from Reece James's corner, put Chelsea ahead, but Mikel Merino nodded in from a Bukayo Saka cross just before the hour while Robert Sanchez made several key saves.
  • Chelsea's point tightens the top-of-the-table picture and boosts their momentum, leaving them third, one point behind Manchester City and six behind Arsenal, while Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca sees encouragement in their resilience.
  • Estevao's 10-yard miss and Chalobah's bloodied reaction to Piero Hincapie's unpunished elbow emphasised the contest's fine margins and flashpoints.
