Mikel Merino heads Arsenal level
Arsenal will be disappointed that they didn’t capitalize on Moises Caicedo being sent off after 38 minutes. However, the Gunners weren’t at their best against Chelsea.

Arsenal would have taken Walcott

“When you play against 10 men you’re disappointed if you don’t win, because you expect to win.They would have been happy with this at the beginning, but don’t take away from what Arsenal did up until this point. Yes, they will be disappointed today that they didn’t win to get a greater gap between Chelsea and themselves.”There was some fatigue, but no excuses. It will not stop them from achieving what they want this year. Chelsea is their biggest rival at the moment, and they’ve kept them at bay.
