Chelsea 1 - 1 Arsenal Pedro Neto's well-taken equaliser levelled things up in a lively encounter at Stamford Bridge.  Author - DJ Having started the weekend seven points adrift, Chelsea and Arsenal now trail by nine, with Arsenal in particular struggling, having now gone five games without a win in all competitions. Arsenal took the lead when Gabriel Martinelli blasted past Robert Sanchez at the near post after collecting Martin Odegaard’s cross. Chelsea’s equaliser was fully deserved, with Neto latching onto an Enzo Fernandez pass, cutting inside, and drilling a low shot into the corner past David Raya. England star Bukayo Saka was forced off with an injury late on as both teams searched for a winner. Arsenal came close, but Leandro Trossard narrowly missed William Saliba’s cross in the dying seconds before the final whistle. Before that, Martinelli had a good chance and Kai Havertz saw a goal chalked off for offside. Chelsea have lost just once in their past 10 matches and lo

Inter Milan 1 - 0 Arsenal Arsenal's unbeaten run in this season’s Champions League came to a frustrating end at the San Siro, as a contentious first-half penalty handed Inter Milan a narrow victory. Author - DJ Just before half-time, Inter were awarded a penalty when Mikel Merino was judged to have handled the ball following a flick-on from Mehdi Taremi. While there seemed little Merino could do to avoid it, VAR upheld the decision, and Hakan Calhanoglu confidently slotted the penalty down the middle. This marked Arsenal’s first goal conceded in Europe this season , yet they had ample time to respond. They came close in the second half, with Gabriel’s header from a corner cleared off the line by Denzel Dumfries. Arsenal kept the pressure on, with Inter’s keeper, Yann Sommer, making an outstanding one-handed save to deny Kai Havertz’s curling effort. Havertz nearly found the net again, only to have his shot expertly blocked by Yann Bisseck. Despite their dominance in the second

Manchester City 2 - 2 Arsenal John Stones snatched a dramatic late equaliser in the dying seconds, amid chaos and controversy, denying Arsenal a memorable victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. A closer look at what happened in Manchester Arsenal had produced a superb defensive display after Leandro Trossard was sent off in the first half and were just moments away from what would have been a defining moment in Mikel Arteta's tenure. However, substitute Stones found the net after a well-executed short corner during the seventh minute of added time. Arsenal will feel both pride and heartache. They had initially fallen behind to Erling Haaland’s 100th goal for City but turned the game on its head, taking the lead before the break. In a series of crucial moments, City lost key player Rodri to a knee injury after 21 minutes, adding to Pep Guardiola’s frustrations as Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori fired a high, angled shot past Ederson just seconds later. Premier League:

Atalanta 0 - 0 Arsenal David Raya pulled off a stunning double save from the penalty spot as Arsenal played out a draw against Atalanta in their Champions League opener. The Spaniard dived low to his right to deny Mateo Retegui’s penalty, then somehow scrambled across his goal to keep out the striker’s follow-up header right on the line. It was the only moment of excitement and quality in an otherwise forgettable match in Bergamo. Clear chances were hard to come by, with Raya not needing to make any other saves beyond that dramatic two-second sequence. Arsenal, on the other hand, didn’t manage a single shot between the 18th and 75th minute. Like their opponents, their only two shots on target came as part of a double save. Atalanta's keeper, Marco Carnesecchi, tipped away Bukayo Saka’s free-kick and then blocked Thomas Partey’s close-range follow-up.
