🔴 LIVE: Arsenal lead against Everton after Chelsea draw at Bournemouth | OneFootball

After a manic Saturday, the Premier League returns for what looks like being an equally frantic Sunday.

You can follow all the action right here.

Arsenal had the better of the opening 10 minutes without truly threatening Jordan Pickford’s goal.

Their 70% plus possession appeared to show in the 20th minute when Gabriel Martinelli slotted home brilliantly after being played in by Fabio Vieira, but it was ruled out by VAR for offside.

Martinelli was then subbed off with an apparent injury to compound the blow for the Gunners, replaced by Leandro Trossard.

There was little between the sides for the rest of the first half with Everton being the happier side at the break.

Arsenal eventually broke the deadlock in the 69th minute. Some nice link-up play around the box saw Bukayo Saka cross to Trossard, who finished in stunning style from close range.

Chelsea’s turgid start to the season continued as they fired blanks in front of goal to draw 0-0 with Bournemouth.

Mauricio Pochettino kept faith with misfiring striker Nicolas Jackson as Chelsea travelled to Bournemouth looking for only their second win of the campaign.

The first real chance fell to Raheem Sterling on 10 minutes but the England winger snatched at his shot as it went across the penalty box.

And just moments later Mykhailo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson combined with the Gambian striker hitting the post with a shot from the edge of the area.

The home side had their own chance to open the scoring on 20 minutes but Dango Ouattara’s back post effort was smothered by Robert Sanchez.

Conor Gallagher was the next man to go close for the Blues with the captain for the day forcing a good save from Neto.

Into the second half and Chelsea thought they had scored after just three minutes but Levi Colwill’s tap in was offside after Raheem Sterling hit the post with a free kick.

The Cherries had their own golden chance with 12 minutes to go but Dominic Solanke’s effort was saved well by Sanchez’s legs.
