Chelsea were lucky to escape the London derby with a point, with Arsenal emerging the better team at Stamford Bridge on the day.

Chelsea came into the derby as favourites over Arsenal, with the Blues on a better run of form compared to the Gunners. However, as the game unfolded, Arsenal looked the better side, despite Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil on the bench, and would be disappointed to return from Stamford Bridge with just a point to show for their efforts.

Aaron Ramsey’s brilliant effort should have earned Arsenal the lead and the rebound from the effort should have, lest Alexandre Lacazette sky it into the crowd.

People were quick to praise Arsene Wenger for the result, without Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, with the Gunners looking more fluid without the German, in particular on the day.

Sead Kolasinac was the star of the day and his performance, clubbed with his strength to shrug off the nasty challenge from David Luiz was highlighted by the fans on social media.

Mesut Ozil, surprisingly, bore the brunt of Arsenal fans, despite not even being on the pitch.
