Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea: How it happened

By Aidan Small at Meadow Park

WHAT HAPPENED

A fine goal from Beth Mead helped us to pick up a point against league leaders Chelsea as we extended our unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 games.

We almost got off to the perfect start when Mead twisted and turned on the right wing and forced a low save from Hedvig Lindahl.

But after working a number of half-chances and failing to take them, Chelsea punished us on the half-hour as Fran Kirby raced through and found the bottom corner.

We responded well, with Vivianne Miedema and Mead going close in quick succession, before the latter levelled matters on the stroke of half-time as she stormed down the wing and rifled the ball into the far corner.
