Chelsea worked hard to get a point from their final Premier League game before the third international break of the season.

The Blues drew 1-1 with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge thanks to Pedro Neto’s first league goal for the club since his summer move.

Moises Caicedo continued to impress Chelsea fans with his performance levels, as he made a real statement up against fellow big-name signing Declan Rice.

Despite the positives to be taken from that game, there will no doubt be disappointment in the way they conceded in the second half to Gabriel Martinelli.

Ben Foster not impressed by Robert Sanchez

Fingers were pointed at goalkeeper Robert Sanchez for the way the ball was able to squeeze in from a tight angle.

Blame on the Spaniard has unfortunately become a little regular this season, with Chelsea fans not convinced that Sanchez can be the long-term number one.

Ben Foster has stated he was not a fan of the way the goalkeeper closed down the angle to try and stop the Brazilian’s shot in West London.

He said on ‘The Football Fill-In’: “I don’t like the way he automatically reverted to a spread instead of actually backing himself and saying, you know what, I am going to stand my ground, I am going to react to something.

“If you are not going to go and shut that space off and try and get in his face, then you have got to say, right, I am going to back myself here to try and react to something. And I think if he would have done, I reckon he could make (the save).”

Filip Jorgensen deserves a chance for Chelsea

Enzo Maresca has stood by Sanchez this season as his Premier League number one, even after the addition of Filip Jorgensen over the summer.

The young goalkeeper has seen his minutes restricted to cup competitions so far, although it can’t be long before the manager is considering him as an option.

Jorgensen is certainly a player who deserves more minutes after the international break, as Chelsea enter a run of fixtures that on paper look far more appealing than their recent games.
