Yesterday at Stamford Bridge, Arsenal and Chelsea battled to a 1-1 Premier League draw.<\/p>\n

The Gunners\u2019 disappointing performance on the road resulted in their fourth consecutive league loss.The team under Mikel Arteta\u2019s leadership was fortunate to escape the first half unscathed.<\/p>\n

Pedro Neto set up Malo Gusto with a beautiful cross, but the Brazilian messed up his close-range shot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gabriel Martinelli scored for Arsenal in the 60th minute to break the tie.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Until Neto scored from long range to tie the game, they appeared to be heading for a sluggish victory.<\/p>\n

The Portugal national team was able to score a goal because their opponent lacked focus in the middle of the field.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even though they had more scoring opportunities in the latter minutes, Arsenal were unable to secure the victory.<\/p>\n

Despite the deadlock, we can take heart from a few promising developments that occurred over the international break.<\/p>\n

After suffering a ligament damage in his ankle in late August, Martin Odegaard finally got the start for Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Prior to the derby, the player who cost \u00a330 million just had three training sessions under his belt and made a brief appearance at Inter.<\/p>\n

Despite this, he played all 90 minutes and proved that the Gunners were wrong to have missed him.<\/p>\n

The captain of the club set up four scoring opportunities with a completion percentage of 92%.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He was spot-on with every cross he sent in and set up Martinelli for the equalizer with a magnificent pass.<\/p>\n

Odegaard had an outstanding performance overall, winning three duels and recovering four times.<\/p>\n

Earlier than planned, Odegaard took the reins. That he managed to stay in the game the entire time was surprising.<\/p>\n

Since Odegaard will not be reporting for international duty with Norway, he has a couple of weeks to work on his fitness and get back to match shape.<\/p>\n
