The best is yet to come from Arsenal while Chelsea's Mudryk is on the rise

Arsenal will feel relieved.

They were far from their best against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, something which Declan Rice admitted after the 2-2 draw. "First half from us the worst we've played this season in terms of sloppiness," the England midfielder said.

However, once again, the Gunners found a way, scoring twice in the final 15 minutes to rescue a dramatic point to keep their unbeaten start to the season intact.

It's been a bit of a theme to the season for the Gunners. They have been far from their best in many of the opening nine games of the league season, but they sit second, unbeaten and with 21 points.

Tight wins against Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Everton. A disappointing draw against Fulham, finding a way to get over the line in big home games against Manchester United and Manchester City and draws against Tottenham and Chelsea. The 4-0 win at Bournemouth apart, Arsenal have been involved in extremely tight games in the Premier League, showing character, spirit and fight to get over the line.

It's in contrast to their flying start to last season where they burst out of the traps as they went on to challenge Man City for the title, ultimately falling short in their bid to win a first Premier League title since 2004.

But this appears to be a different Arsenal, a more robust Arsenal, a more functional Arsenal and there's still plenty to come from Mikel Arteta's side, especially in attack. However, it may be that solid base, that fighting spirit and character which may be the difference as they bid to end their long league title trophy drought.
