In a fierce London derby against Chelsea, Arsenal ultimately finished the match 1-1 with their opponents playing with ten men, earning only one point.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said after the match that the team had experienced a high-intensity schedule over the past week, and although they were unable to continue their winning streak, he was proud of the players' efforts.

In the previous few days, Arsenal defeated Tottenham and Bayern Munich, arriving at Stamford Bridge with a strong performance. However, this match turned into a physical battle from the start, with frequent fouls, multiple referee interventions, and a series of yellow cards making the game fragmented.

In the post-match interview, Arteta believed that a series of fouls and set-piece defensive errors at the start of the second half led to the goal conceded, and the team must adjust mentally quickly. Arteta said, "After everything this week, we must overcome our emotional reaction to conceding a goal. The players gave their all and scored a brilliant goal."

Despite the team’s efforts and resilience, Arteta believes Arsenal still lacks something in key areas, including patience, poor ball control, and an inability to create enough chaos and threat around the penalty area.

However, Arteta still considers this week a positive one. Two solid victories, a fiercely contested derby, and the team's overall performance have all pleased the manager.

However, Arteta admitted regarding the inability to beat Chelsea: "Overall, I think it's been a positive week. But I'm still disappointed that we didn't get the three points."

With the packed winter schedule approaching, Arsenal must maintain their form in the upcoming matches to retain their top spot in the table.
