Chelsea vs Arsenal: Neto stunner rescues point for Blues as Gunners title hopes fade
Pedro Neto scored his first Premier League goal to help Chelsea earn a 1-1 draw against London rivals Arsenal, and seriously dent their title hopes.
However, he has yet to reach the heights he reached for his former club. Against Arsenal earlier today, he scored his first Chelsea goal, firing past David Raya in the 70th minute, ten minutes after Gabriel Martinelli had given their London rivals the lead.
What Neto said
Chelsea had genuine chances to win the game, as Arsenal had already dropped points in five league matches prior to today's clash at Stamford Bridge, and Maresca’s side had them for the taken in instances; hence, the final result disappointed Neto, despite opening his Premier League account for Chelsea.
"We wanted to win, but we knew we had hard work in front of us because they are a good team,” he told reporters after the match.
“We came to win, so we're not as happy as we wanted to be, but we didn't want to lose and it's a good point against a good team.
"We read the game well. We had moments we could have been better but we've done a good job and we want to keep improving at this level.
"I am really happy to help the team. This is a group that works really hard each day. I work every day to improve; I'm trying to improve and go to my best level."
