After 20 minutes of Arsenal's trip to Stamford Bridge, things weren't looking too great for Unai Emery
Goals from Pedro and Alvaro Morata had given Chelsea a two-goal lead, the second goal coming seconds after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had missed a sitter from deep inside the home side's penalty area.
By half-time, things were considerably better for the visitors. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who had also been guilty of firing over from a decent position, brought them back into the game before Alex Iwobi drew them level in time for the break.
Arsenal had dug themselves out of a hole, although for one of their players, his involvement in the game was over.
Granit Xhaka was miserable in the first 45, so much so that Emery decided to give him the hook in favour of Lucas Torreira.
The decision was a welcome one for many Gunners supporters, as was evident from their reaction on Twitter.
