Furious Mikel Arteta slams his Arsenal players for their 'unacceptable' 1-1 draw with Chelsea... and reveals his 'biggest fear' in the title race after slipping NINE points adrift of Liverpool

Mikel Arteta blasted his Arsenal side for letting another lead slip in the Premier League after a 1-1 draw with Chelsea, ranting that it was 'so poor' not to seal victory at Stamford Bridge.

The Gunners took the lead thanks to a thumping near-post finish from Gabriel Martinelli after the Brazilian was found at the far post by returning captain Martin Odegaard.

It took just ten minutes for Chelsea to restore parity thanks to a mesmerising long-range effort from summer signing Pedro Neto.

Arsenal's Leandro Trossard missed a chance in the dying seconds to clinch victory, stretching in vain to connect with a William Saliba cross, but the visitors had to settle for a point.
