Arsenal’s title hopes faded as Pedro Neto’s stunning equalizer earned Chelsea a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge. Gabriel Martinelli put Arsenal ahead with a clever finish in the 60th minute, briefly disrupting Chelsea’s energetic play. However, Neto’s 25-yard rocket brought the hosts level, lifting Chelsea to third and leaving Arsenal winless in three matches. Cole Palmer, fit after a knee scare, nearly scored early on, while Neto created Chelsea’s best first-half chances, including a missed header by Malo Gusto. A disallowed Kai Havertz goal added drama before Neto’s late strike sealed the draw.
