Share:In a riveting football encounter that transpired at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea witnessed a heart-stopping turn of events against Arsenal. What initially appeared to be a comfortable two-goal lead for Mauricio Pochettino’s squad unraveled dramatically in the final 15 minutes, as they conceded two late goals to Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard.
The defining moment of the match arrived in the first half when Cole Palmer calmly slotted home a penalty. This decision, however, stirred controversy, with the referee attributing the penalty to William Saliba’s handball.
