Arsenal ‘togetherness and leadership’ key to draw at Chelsea – Arteta

Arsenal showed the togetherness and leadership that Mikel Arteta is demanding as they overcame David Luiz’s red card to twice fight back and share the spoils in London derby.

Luiz was sent off against his former club for shoving Tammy Abraham in the penalty area as the Chelsea striker looked set to score following a terrible backpass by Shkodran Mustafi when the game was goalless.

Jorginho scored from the resulting spot-kick before 18-year-old Gabriel Martinelli scored a brilliant equalizer after a slip by N’golo Kante only for Cesar Azpilicueta to restore Chelsea’s lead late on.

Yet 10-man Arsenal capped a spirited display when Hector Bellerin marked his return from injury with a dramatic equaliser from the edge of the penalty area.

Arsenal remain 10 points off a champions league spot and, despite their battling performance, they have won just one of their last eight premier league games.

They also face the prospect of finishing outside the top six for the first time since 1994-95.
