Zinchenko's Arsenal failed to beat Mudryk's Chelsea
The biggest match of the weekend in the English Premier League was the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal.
Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring in the 60th minute when he avoided offside after a cross and shot between goalkeeper and the post. Chelsea didn't have to wait long for an answer - 10 minutes later Pedro Neto sent the ball into the bottom left corner of the Arsenal goal with a perfect long-range shot.
That was the end of the goals in the match, but Arteta's team had an ideal chance to snatch victory today. In the final seconds of the game William Saliba shot towards the goal, where Leandro Trossard lacked centimetres to put the ball into the net.
