EPL: Chelsea, Arsenal draw in derby after Man Utd thrash Leicester

Chelsea scored a late equaliser to hold Arsenal to a 1-1 draw in a Premier League encounter at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

After a goalless first half, the Gunners drew blood first, with Gabriel Martinelli scoring on the hour mark to silence the home crowd.

But the Blues were not going to give up as Pedro Neto netted a stunning equaliser 10 minutes after to share the spoils for both sides.

The result leaves both teams on 19 points, nine adrift of leaders Liverpool and Arsenal without a win in their past five games in all competitions.
