Arsenal and Chelsea Draw in London Derby

London, November 30. In a match of the 13th round of the English Premier League, Arsenal and Chelsea drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge. This was a London derby. According to the Argentine News Agency, 'The Blues' (Chelsea's nickname), with Argentine players Enzo Fernández and Alejandro Garnacho in the squad, took the lead in the 3rd minute of the second half with a goal from Trevoh Chalobah. The Spaniard Mikel Merino equalized the score in the 14th minute of the same half. In turn, Moisés Caicedo was sent off in the 38th minute of the first half by VAR's decision for a hard foul on an opponent. Thanks to this result, the team led by Mikel Arteta rescued an important point to continue at the top of the Premier League table with 30 points. Merino appeared alone and beat Robert Sánchez to make it 1-1. In other matches of the round, Manchester United won away 2-1 against Crystal Palace with goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount to turn the result around after Jean-Philippe Mateta's goal. They will now host Brentford (10th) next Wednesday at 4:30 PM at the Emirates Stadium. The team coached by Enzo Maresca remained in third place with 24 points, one behind Manchester City (second in the league), and will have to visit Leeds United on the same day starting at 5:15 PM. In a first half where Chelsea was better on the field, the early sending off of Moisés Caicedo for a strong infringement on Mikel Merino changed the course of the first half, and they began to fall back. However, the London blue team found a goal in the first moments of the second half through Trevoh Chalobah. The match also featured goals from Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo. Meanwhile, Aston Villa managed to impose themselves 1-0 against Wolverhampton with a goal from Boubacar Kamara and a great performance from Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez to keep a clean sheet. Finally, Nottingham Forest fell 2-0 to Brighton with goals from Maxim de Cuyper and Stefanos Tzimas. With the win, the 'Red Devils' (Manchester United) rose to seventh place with 21 points. Later, Liverpool achieved a key victory, after two defeats, 2-0 against West Ham to place themselves in eighth place with the same points. The central defender rose high and headed a ball to defeat David Raya and open the score. From there, Arsenal grew in the match and went in search of the draw to avoid the second defeat of the season in the Premier League. However, the numerical superiority for most of the match was not enough for them to take three points.
