Chelsea manages to stay level with Arsenal for 90' despite playing down a man. Arsenal's 1st place lead drops to 5 points ahead of Manchester City after matchday 13.
Chelsea vs Arsenal
The Chelsea Blues struck gold at Stamford Bridge once again with a 1-1 draw to the Premier League leaders of Arsenal. The first half went scoreless even after a 38' reckless red card challenge by Chelsea's Moises Caicedo, which had the Blues down a man for over 45'+. Despite being out manned, the start of the 2nd half found Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah flick in a header from Reece James's corner kick to take the lead. Arsenal would go out swinging though, as the Gunner's Bukayo Saka chopped in a perfect cross for Mikel Merino to head home in the 59'. The game finished 1-1 to Arsenal's dismay, causing Chelsea to reside in 3rd place with 24 points, with the Gunners still sitting in front with 30.
Manchester City vs Leeds United
The Manchester City Sky Blues had a close call on the score line at home Etihad Stadium, but dominated the game with 17 shots, 8 on target, with 63% possession against the Peacocks. City's Phil Foden opened the scoring right away with a goal in the 1', before teammate Josko Gvardiol reacted quickly to a corner kick scrum to extend City's lead to 2-0 in 25'. Leed's Dominic Calvert-Lewin pulled one back for the Peacocks in the 49' and even went on to draw a penalty in the 66' for Lukas Nmecha to take. Nmecha's penalty was saved, but he promptly finished the rebound giving Leeds hope of a 2-2 draw. However, Phil Foden come to the rescue for City with a 90+1' far post finish for his brace, taking back 3 points and a victory for City to stay in 2nd place with 25 points.
Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton
Aston Villa's ripe form continues as they edge their 3rd straight win in the Premier League with their recent 1-0 result over the relegation-bound Wolves. The Wanderers were hardly a threat, allowing Aston Villa 14 shots, 6 on target with 54% possession. The Lion's Boubacar Kamar netted the game-winner and matches only goal in the 67', allowing Aston Villa to impress the rest of the league as they push on in 4th place with 24 points.
