[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Sung-yeol] Arsenal failed to secure a win in the London derby against Chelsea, ending the match in a 2-2 draw. Arsenal has recorded draws in their last three games.

On the 22nd (Korean time), Arsenal played an away match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in London, England, in the 24th round of the 2019-20 English Premier League (EPL) season, finishing 2-2.

With this result, Arsenal maintained their 10th place in the league standings with 6 wins, 12 draws, and 6 losses (30 points), while Chelsea stayed in 4th place with 12 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses (40 points).

In the 25th minute of the first half, Arsenal's Mustafi made a mistake while trying to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper from a deep position. Abraham rushed in, seized the ball that Mustafi spilled, bypassed Leno who had come out of the penalty box, and dribbled up to the goal line.

To defend, Luiz engaged in a fierce physical battle, and the referee showed a red card. From the penalty kick awarded afterward, Jorginho stepped up and successfully scored.

Despite being a man down, Arsenal did not lose their will to chase the game.

In the 17th minute of the second half, Martinelli dribbled the ball that bounced off Arsenal’s goalpost from outside the penalty box and created a goal sideways with a sliding Arizabalaga.

In the 38th minute of the second half, during a Chelsea corner kick, Azpilicueta connected a cross with his right foot, shaking Arsenal’s net.

Then, in the 41st minute of the second half, Bellerin curled a left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty box into the goal, leveling the score once again.
