The game shifted dramatically in the second half when Chelsea’s Pedro Neto was sent off around the 70th minute for a cynical foul on Gabriel Martinelli, earning a second yellow card. This marked Chelsea’s seventh red card of the Premier League season.
Arsenal capitalised on their numerical advantage shortly after. In the 66th minute, Jurriën Timber met Declan Rice’s precise corner delivery with a firm header to restore the lead at 2-1. The Dutch defender’s goal proved decisive, highlighting Arsenal’s lethal set-piece routine.
Despite being down to 10 men, Chelsea pushed hard in the closing stages and nearly snatched an equaliser in stoppage time. Substitute Liam Delap had a goal disallowed for offside after David Raya produced a magnificent save in the 90+2nd minute to deny an acrobatic effort and preserve Arsenal’s advantage.
