  • 30' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Levi Colwill on 30 minutes.
  • 35' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 45' Arsenal FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.

  • 70' Both keepers have barely been tested. Arsenal FC and Chelsea FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 75' Chelsea FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 76' The whistle greets Christopher Nkunku as he departs to be replaced by Kiernan Dewsbury Hall.
  • 78' It is a substitution in Arsenal FC team. Martinelli is replaced by Ethan Nwaneri on 78 minute.
  • 82' Romeo Lavia is ready to make an impact after coming on for Reece James at the 82 minute mark.
  • 86' It is a substitution in Chelsea FC team. Benoit Badiashile is replaced by Tosin Adarabioyo on 86 minute.
