One of the most blatant penalties you’ll ever see NOT given for Newcastle v Chelsea today. Easily a clear foul for a shirt pull and another for a clear trip. Totally incompetent

At least the refs aren't allowing the anti-Chelsea sentiment to affect them. Chelsea certainly got away with a couple today.

Yep some real horror shows. That Havertz elbow was a red.

Emile Smith Rowe on the bench.Tomiyasu missing, the rest as you'd expect.

Come on Arsenal.................

I thought it was a red as well but those very, very rarely get given. So if it was given as a red I think as a chelsea fan you’d feel hard done by because whilst it can be justified in the rules of the game you rarely see straight reds for elbows when contesting a header like that

Here we go!

Leicester starting the game with a high, energetic press. Six of their outfield players started their Europa League game against Rennes three days ago, no way they can keep pressing like that for the full 90.

Looks like they will attack down Soares' side all day

Partey!

Partey!!!!!!!!!

Thomas Partey!!!

Partey hits the crossbar, a very good shot actually

Partey hit the post. He's so useless !

There are not many better wingers in the world getting the ball to feet and spinning their man to drive at the defence than Saka

Living very dangerously there, great sliding tackle by White

Martinelli 's decision making at times leaves a lot tobe desired.

He's itching to score all the time

Another good chance for Leicester, excellent save from Ramsdale

Feels like we’ve let them back in the game since the goal. Becoming a bit of a common thing for us. The first 10 minutes the entire game was played in their half. Much more even game since

I some times feel that with too many of our players shoot when it’s very obvious that any shot would be blocked relatively easily

The no conceding goal from a corner streak seems to be in jeopardy.

I agree. Several instances where it was crystal clear the shot would be blocked but they tried any way. Patience needed.

1 nil at the half - Nice.

Good opening 20 mins, got the goal then took our foot off the gas and conceded too much possession to Leicester.

Too many sideways and backwards passes made at too slow a pace. Ødegaard looks on his game but some of the others need to sharpen up.

Maybe bring on Emile Smith Rowe for Martinelli. At the moment it seems Martinelli doesn't seem to know if he's a winger or a forward. He needs to beat his fullback and create some opportunities that way, its all too predictable.

Need to up the tempo in the second half, we have the fresher legs here. Leicester are dangerous going forward, but so are we and their defense is a lot shakier than ours. This is far from over, but we should win

Very nice to be a goal up after a great start but a little worrying how the last ten minutes we were penned back back Leicester.

Yes it was a bit worrying, need that second goal.

This should be a penalty for us I think, looks like Soyuncu touched the ball with his hand

That’s got to be a pen

Penalty if he sees the right angle

Penalty and red card

Should be red, prevented a goal

Lacazette!!!!!!!!

Nervous. Come on Lacazette

Wow. The player who can’t score vs Schmeichel. Yes!!! Well done that man. Super penalty.

Yes!!!!!!!!

If another defender hadn’t cleared it off the line then I suspect that it would have been a red.

Excellent penalty

Schmeichel outfoxed and wants a retake ?????????

We’re 2 up which is great. But huge credit to White and Tierney for 2 goal saving blocks. Worth their weight in gold.
