Arsenal aggrieved Chelsea with a stunning late fightback as they came from two goals down to snatch a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Gunners looked to be heading to a first defeat of the season when Mykhailo Mudrykโ€™s cross-shot looped over David Raya minutes after the interval, adding to the lead given to them by Cole Palmerโ€™s first-half penalty.

The visitors were far from their free-flowing best and Blues, inspired by the increasingly influential Palmer on the right of a front three, were for three-quarters of the game good value for what would have been a third straight league win.

But the pendulum swung when Robert Sanchezโ€™s careless pass presented the ball to Declan Rice who cut the arrears before Leandro Trossard stunned the home fans into silence with a close-range finish in the closing minutes to earn Arsenal a draw and moved them level on points at the top of the Premier League.

For the first time under Pochettino, Chelsea started without a recognised striker, Raheem Sterling instead lining up centrally, flanked by in-form pair Palmer and Mudryk.
