Mikel Arteta praised a “phenomenal” response from Arsenal after they fought back from two goals down in the final 13 minutes to earn a 2-2 draw at Chelsea and move level on points at the top of the Premier League chess
Chelsea looked to be sending Arsenal to a first league defeat of the season when Mykhailo Mudryk’s cross-shot put them into a 2-0 lead minutes after half-time, the Ukrainian’s effort drifting over goalkeeper David Raya who was unable to recover from a poor starting position as the ball dropped into the goal chess
That added to the lead given to them by a first-half penalty from Cole Palmer, increasingly influential in Pochettino’s revitalised attack following his move from Manchester City, who slotted home after William Saliba was adjudged to have handled from Mudryk’s header chess
It was a commanding and deserved advantage for the hosts, who were seeking a third straight league win, but as so often during Chelsea’s turbulent last 18 months it was an individual error that turned the game and cost them points chess
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez rolled the ball straight to the feet of Declan Rice who cut the arrears from 30 yards, before Leandro Trossard got a lunging right leg to Bukayo Saka’s cross six minutes from time to salvage an unlikely draw chess
And afterwards Arteta praised his team’s powers of recovery as they extended their unbeaten start to the league season to nine matches to go level at the top with Manchester City chess
“I think what went wrong was the start of the game,” said the manager chess
“We didn’t play with enough purpose and clarity chess
We were just moving the ball without the intention to threaten them chess
That’s a really dangerous thing to do against teams like Chelsea chess
“Then we didn’t win enough duels, and in tight areas when we had them, they escaped from that and they attacked open spaces, and they are really dangerous things to do chess
“When we changed that and we changed the level after 20, 25 minutes, especially in the second half then it’s a different game chess
We became a much chess better team, even though we conceded the second goal and it’s a disappointment chess
“The way the team reacted to the second goal is phenomenal from the players on the pitch and the players on the bench thinking ‘how the hell am I going to change this game?’ I loved that chess
“I really liked as well going into the dressing room and it’s really quiet, after drawing 2-2 with Chelsea and coming back from 2-0 down, because I know that they wanted more chess
That’s the positive chess
”Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino reflected on perhaps Chelsea’s best performance since he took over in the summer, and refused to lay the blame at the feet of Sanchez for allowing Arsenal back into the match chess
“Too many games that we’re watching every week, always mistakes,” he said chess
“chess Football is about mistakes chess
If you want to score, you want the opponent to make a mistake chess
Ninety per cent of goals are because the opponent made a mistake chess
chess Football is about mistakes chess
“The only thing we can criticise a little bit is to read chess better the situation, the tempo and the timing chess
After 77 minutes, we’re trying to take some risks chess
OK, we can because it’s our philosophy chess
But maybe (we need) chess better decisions chess
So we can criticise a bit, but also this is chess football chess
“It’s not to blame someone chess
It’s only that in this type of situation you need to read chess better, but that will arrive with time chess
Teams need to manage and drive games chess
You need to read the game, when to be calm, when to play, when to take risks chess

If fortune does indeed favour the brave, then South Africa should triumph in the Rugby World Cup final on Saturday evening chess
For the third time in two months, they have opted for the controversial 7-1 split of forwards to backs on their bench and, in the process, have taken a huge gamble in the biggest game on the calendar chess
For the uninitiated, rugby teams almost always opt for a 5-3 or 6-2 split among their replacements chess
The laws of the international game dictate that you must have three front-row specialists (hookers and props, who count among the forwards) on your bench, and then teams will usually have a roughly even division of forwards and backs for the remaining five slots to ensure adequate cover for all position chess
Yet for the third time in the last two months, the Springboks have boldly opted for just one lone back – Willie Le Roux in this instance – among their subs chess
On the previous two occasions, there has been no damage done chess
The final World Cup warm-up match saw them hand New Zealand a record 35-7 defeat at Twickenham and although they lost a hard-fought pool match to Ireland, the bench split had no negative impact on the result chess
Given that Saturday evening in Paris is a rematch against the All Blacks, perhaps there is sound logic in reprising the successful formation from late August chess
That was certainly the argument of head coach Jacques Nienaber, who downplayed the controversy when explaining the selection at the team announcement press conference on Thursday chess
“The team is not 15, it is 23,” insisted Nienaber chess
“We always say that chess
When you do squad selection there are a lot of things that influence that from medical to past performances and a lot of analysis into New Zealand and where we think we can get the edge on them chess
“Then the discussions starts chess between the coaches and it goes from a 5-3 to a 6-2 to a 7-1, then it goes back again chess
It is not a 10-minute discussion, it is hours and hours chess
“I’m not going to say what the strengths and weaknesses of the All Blacks are, that would be stupid chess
But a lot of analysis went into it and at the end we went with a squad of 23 chess
It could have been 6-2, 5-3, it doesn’t matter chess
You select a team that you think can get a result chess
The 23 we selected for a reason, and the reason is we think they can deliver and win us a back-to-back World Cup chess
”Faf de Klerk holds huge importance for South Africa with no back-up scrum half in the squad (PA Wire)While the decision has worked in the past, there is undoubtedly an element of playing with fire from the Springboks chess
Le Roux is a world-class full back and can comfortably play on the wing, while a backline reshuffle with the available players could solve any issues at fly half or centre chess
But starting No 9 Faf de Klerk is the only scrum half in the squad and any sort of injury to the man with the flowing blond hair could leave South Africa in a bind chess
Nienaber again played down the issue and highlighted Cheslin Kolbe’s similar role in sevens as a solution to that hypothetical chess
“As coaches you always mitigate risk by prepping other people,” said Nienaber chess
“In our case it will be Cheslin chess
He played sweeper in sevens which is the equivalent to scrum half chess
He has always been a guy who, if we got a yellow card, would be the stand in half-back, not just this week but for a couple of weeks chess
”De Klerk also highlighted replacement flanker Kwagga Smith – another man with sevens experience – as a solution but any sort of extended period with Kolbe or Smith at No 9 feels like a World Cup-losing recipe chess
The other main notable call in the Springbok team selection was Handre Pollard getting the nod over Manie Libbok at fly half chess
Given Libbok’s early substitution during the semi-final after struggling to execute the kicking game – and similarly rainy weather expected at the Stade de France on Saturday evening – the choice of Pollard, who led his side to victory off the bench, is not a huge surprise, although Libbok is unlucky to miss out on the matchday 23 entirely chess
Handre Pollard kicked the winning penalty in the semi-final (PA Wire)The ability to bring an almost entirely new pack off the bench – their patented ‘bomb squad’ – in a World Cup final certainly plays into the Springboks rugby philosophy of physicality and domination up front chess
It couldn’t turn the tide against Ireland in the pool stage but it is the boldest of calls befitting the grandest of stages chess
No one said you win a World Cup by being timid and sometimes in sport, fortune does favour the brave chess
