Arsenal came from 2-0 down to rescue a thrilling draw at Chelsea in the Premier League.

Chelsea had raced into a two-goal lead thanks to Cole Palmer’s penalty and Mykhailo Mudryk’s cross that lobbed Arsenal keeper David Raya.

Declan Rice cut the deficit in the 77th minute as sluggish Robert Sanchez blundered.

The Chelsea’s goalkeeper received a back pass and played it directly to Rice who planted a shot into the far post and beyond the reach of Sanchez.

Substitute Leandro Trossard then equalised with six minutes of normal time remaining, sliding in at the back post.

The second goal was a replica of the first as Chelsea defenders left Trossard unmarked at the far post.
