Arsenal stuns Chelsea in late fight back as Madrid salvage a point a in Seville

Arsenal staged a stunning late fightback to earn a point at Stamford Bridge just as Chelsea looked about to enjoy their finest victory under manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Chelsea were in complete control after Cole Palmer put them ahead from the penalty spot in the 15th minutes, with William Saliba penalised for handball following the intervention of the video assistant referee.

Arsenal looked certain to slump to their first Premier League defeat of the season when Mykhailo Mudryk's speculative effort from out wide caught Arsenal keeper David Raya stranded and out of position three minutes after the break.

Arsenal were sloppy and struggled to create anything until they were gifted a lifeline with 13 minutes left, Declan Rice sending Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez's poor clearance back past him into the net.

And, remarkably, they were level seven minutes later when substitute Leandro Trossard made a decisive first contribution, stealing in at the far post to score as Chelsea hesitated in dealing with Bukayo Saka's cross.

 Elsewhere, Sevilla drew with Real Madrid at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in what was a feisty game with plenty of action.

.Both sides threw all they had a the match that nobody - except the referee - wanted to end. Real Madrid had the majority of the ball and the chances, but Sevilla's pressure came in waves and Diego Alonso will be delighted with the effort he saw from his side.

It looked as though En Nesyri had given his side the victory with a late header but Dani Carvajal's effort equalised just moments later.

Before that, Real Madrid had put the ball in the back of the net on two occasions, with the referee, who had a difficult night, ruling them both out.

The game was full of tough tackles, angry faces, loud chants,

and fabulous football, which is exactly what we expected. Sergio Ramos was also at the heart of everything good - and bad - that Sevilla did.
