da bet7： The Spanish pair were both at fault for goals as the Gunners fought back from being 2-0 down to maintain their unbeaten Premier League start

da aviator aposta： It's a debate that rumbles on: Playing out from the back – right or wrong? Of course, it's an argument that is far from being black and white, with nuance required on both sides, but as Chelsea hosted Arsenal on Saturday, it was those who question the need to take such risks in the defensive third who will have left the game feeling smug.

Both Robert Sanchez and David Raya were guilty of throwing away possession in dangerous areas, and though only the Chelsea goalkeeper was made to pay with the concession of a goal, Raya's own sloppiness with the ball at his feet did not go unnoticed in another error-strewn display from the new Gunners No.1.

It was Raya who was caught out of position at his near post when Mykhailo Mudryk looped a hopeful left-wing cross goalwards just three minutes into the second half, with the Brentford loanee unable to reach the ball as it sailed into the net to make it 2-0 to the hosts following Cole Palmer's first-half penalty.

But he had Sanchez to thank for taking some of the heat off him, as his fellow Spaniard's poor clearance was returned into the net by Declan Rice in the 77th minute, sparking an Arsenal comeback that maintains their unbeaten start to the Premier League season.

The comeback was capped by substitute Leandro Trossard's equaliser, as Mikel Arteta turned to his bench to turn around an otherwise awful display, while Mauricio Pochettino must be wondering how his team didn't convert their best performance of the season into three points.

GOAL breaks down the winners & losers from Stamford Bridge…

Eyebrows were raised when Chelsea agreed to pay £42.5 million ($54m) to sign Palmer this summer given his lack of Premier League experience, but in his short Blues career so far it is looking like money well spent.

Starting as a 'false nine' between wingers Raheem Sterling and Mudryk, the England Under-21 international caused the Arsenal centre-backs nightmares, with neither William Saliba nor Gabriel Magalhaes sure whether to follow him into deeper areas or wait for him to enter the final third.

Palmer could have had a hat-trick on another night, but he will be pleased to have netted his second goal in as many games after converting from the penalty spot in the first half. That Enzo Fernandez ensured the ex-City man took the spot-kick rather than Sterling also shows the trust the 21-year-old's team-mates already have in him.

Both Chelsea and Arsenal chose to invest in new goalkeepers over the summer. Both turned to Premier League clubs further down the table to find those fresh No.1s. Both even decided that they wanted a Spanish 'keeper between the sticks.

Saturday's clash, however, only added fuel to the fire for those who believe neither team have invested wisely, as Sanchez and Raya delivered a disaster-class that leaves both their immediate futures in peril.

Raya is likely to come under the most scrutiny. After errors against Lens and Manchester United, pressure was already mounting on the man on loan from Brentford, and the way he conceded to Mudryk – flapping at the air as the ball looped over his head from out wide – left much to be desired. He almost compounded the error when he passed the ball straight to Palmer not long after, and was lucky to get away with the mistake in distribution. With Aaron Ramsdale waiting in the wings, this isn't something that can be allowed to continue much longer.

Sanchez, meanwhile, doesn't have the same level of competition breathing down his neck in west London as his compatriot does in the north of the capital, but he is failing to inspire much confidence, and his costly mistake here will not have improved matters. Those who questioned quite why Brighton's third-choice goalkeeper was being brought in to start continue to be vindicated.

There's no getting away from it – Arsenal were very fortunate to escape with a point from this one. Until the final 15 minutes, they looked toothless in attack and all over the place in defence. It was the kind of performance that has barely been seen since the start of last season by Mikel Arteta's side.

That they came away with a draw, though, was largely down to their manager and the in-game changes he made. Yes, they were given a helping hand by Sanchez for Rice's goal, but they took full advantage, with their bench players to the forefront.

Oleksandr Zinchenko was given a torrid time during the first half by the electric Sterling, as the Arsenal left-back struggled to combine his defensive responsibilities with his job of moving into midfield when the Gunners have possession. To his credit, Arteta swallowed his pride and replaced Zinchenko with the more natural defender Takehiro Tomiyasu at half-time. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Sterling was much quieter after the break.

Further forward, Arteta was forced to throw caution to the wind in looking to find a way back into the game, throwing on all four of Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe, Kai Havertz and Trossard, with the ineffective Gabriel Jesus and out-of-sorts Martin Odegaard among those replaced.

It was Trossard who grabbed the headlines with his equalising goal, but Havertz played a small part in the move that led up to it, while the energetic Nketiah twice went close to netting a winner. Arsenal invested over the summer to ensure they had better squad depth in 2023-24, and that paid dividends here.

One of those replaced in the closing stages, this was a display from Odegaard that must be up there as one of his worst since his arrival at the Emirates Stadium. The Arsenal captain was wasteful in possession and seemed to be lacking energy amid the torrid conditions.

This isn't something to be overly concerned with – most who started in Arsenal red had off-nights and seemed to struggle with Chelsea's system and pressing – but it was provided a blueprint for future opponents as to how and limit the Norway star's influence.
