On Saturday evening an intriguing London derby took place in England between the teams of "Chelsea" and "Arsenal."

After a tough 90-minute battle, the teams settled for a draw - 2:2.

In the first half of the match, "Chelsea" looked better than their opponents. In the 15th minute, a penalty kick was awarded to "Arsenal," which was confidently converted by Cole Palmer.

Pressing actively on their opponents, the "aristocrats" also earned a second goal. In the 48th minute, taking advantage of an incorrect position by David Raya, Mykhailo Mudryk scored a great goal to double the lead. He was very close to joining the "Arsenal" team, but the offer of 100 million made by the "Chelsea" club won the battle for the Ukrainian.

Mauricio Pochettino's men had several opportunities to score a third goal, but failed to secure a comfortable life without gaining it.

The "Gunners" recovered in the 77th minute. After a mistake by Roberto Sanchez, Declan Rice scored from a distance.

Soon after, Leandro Trossard equalized the score. Bukayo Saka made a very good pass in the goal situation.

Both teams did not have any more clear chances for the remaining time, so it ended in a tie.

The "Arsenal" players lost 2 points, but remain undefeated. They at least briefly rose to first place. "Chelsea" surpassed "Manchester United."
