Chelsea and Arsenal played out a vaguely curious 2-2 draw at a soaked Stamford Bridge in a game that probably was strange enough to be remembered for things going wrong with outfield players’ hands and goalkeepers’ feet.. The Gunners know from last season just how tight the margins are when embarking on a title battle with Manchester City; almost any game that isn’t a win goes down as a negative.
The Spaniard was at least three yards too close to Mudryk – he was beyond his front post upon the Ukrainian’s mis-hit – and perhaps two yards further from his line than he ought to have been. Arteta appreciates Raya’s proactive approach and perhaps a desire to defend the space between his goal and his retreating defence was a factor in his flawed positioning, but sometimes a goalkeeper just needs to retreat and react. Raya wasn’t positive, he just looked p*ssed.5.
Mercifully for Sanchez, there isn’t another keeper at Chelsea breathing down his neck. But Pochettino and every other coach who insists their No.1s moonlight as No.10s have to accept the risk that comes with whatever reward they are chasing.7. Sanchez had another second-half moment when he came for a cross, got absolutely nowhere near the ball but cleaned out two or three of his own players as well as, more importantly for our point, Gabriel Jesus.
Saliba’s crime here really is in having been caught slightly off guard and slightly out of position by the cross and Mudryk’s run, but the punishment for it feels so perversely excessive. We’d imagine – and such is the nature of these things expect to be proved instantly wrong here – that a sizeable majority of football fans would be at least slightly uncomfortable with the penalty given against Saliba here but that a similar majority would look at, say, Scott McTominay’s penalty concession at Sheffield United and go yes, that’s a penalty.
The whole thing was yet another reminder too of why Arteta is so keen at all times to have Saka on the pitch for every single minute of every single game if at all possible. Even on a quiet evening for him – and this was that – he remains capable of delivering those moments of greatness.
