Arsenal woes continue

Arsenal and Chelsea are nine points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool after their 1-1 draw yesterday, while Ipswich stunned Tottenham 2-1 for their first Premier League victory in 22 years.

Manchester United signed off Ruud van Nistelrooy's temporary stint in charge with a 3-0 win over Leicester and Nottingham Forest dropped out of the top four after a 3-1 home defeat to Newcastle.

Arsenal are now winless in four Premier League games as their bid for a first title since 2004 is at risk of unravelling.

The Gunners welcomed captain Martin Odegaard back to the starting line-up for the first time in two months and were much improved at Stamford Bridge, but still could not come away with a vital three points.

Odegaard teed up Gabriel Martinelli to open the scoring with a near-post shot on the hour mark.

Chelsea responded through Pedro Neto's long-range effort for his first league goal since a £51 million move from Wolves.
