The Gunners played out a 2-2 draw with Chelsea away from home at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.
Entertaining Game
Mikel Arteta’s side suffered an early blow in their attempt to pick up all three points from the encounter when David Luiz - who joined the Gunners from the Blues in the summer of 2019 - was sent off in the 26th minute for shoving Tammy Abraham inside the penalty area.
Jorginho did not make any mistake from the resulting spot kick, but Gabriel Martinelli restored parity for the visiting team on 63 minutes.
Cesar Azpilicueta put Chelsea back in the lead in the 84th minute, but Hector Bellerin found the net from the edge of the penalty area only three minutes later.
Proud
Lacazette has stated on Twitter that he is proud of his Arsenal teammates for their performance, and the France international forward is also pleased for Bellerin for scoring on his return from injury
