Arsenal Under-18s were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against Chelsea after they conceded two goals in the last 10 minutes.

After a goalless first half, midfielder Renny Smith put the Gunners ahead on 56 minutes before Steffy Mavididi's goal 18 minutes from time looked to have sealed a third straight win for Carl Laraman's side.

But the Blues pulled a goal back through Jake Clarke-Salter in the 80th minute before Tammy Abraham netted a penalty six minutes later to complete the comeback.

Arsenal now have 17 points from 21 league games.
