Arsenal and Chelsea were level at 1-1 in their third-round English Premier League match, with both sides having won their opening two games of the season.

Chelsea nearly moved ahead just before halftime. In the 45th minute, Pedro Neto collected the ball on the right wing, drove toward goal and shot from the edge of the penalty area. His effort struck the post by the narrowest of margins.

The live coverage also recorded a late moment from the other match, where Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored for Everton to make it 2-2 against Manchester United in the 90th minute. The report described it as a perfect 20-meter strike into the top corner after Mazraoui's attempted clearance fell to him.
