Comments:

League position: 6th Arsenal had now won two of their last eight games in the Premier League. No team had now recovered more points from losing positions than the Gunners in this Premier League season (12). They had now conceded more penalties than any other team in the Premier League since the start of the 2016-17 season (14).

Comments:

League position: 3rd This was the first time that Chelsea had dropped points from a winning position in this Premier League season. The Blues had now won one of their last five away games in the Premier League. They failed in their attempt to become the first team to keep clean sheets in five consecutive games so far in this Premier League season.
