    It's Mason Mount who keeps getting in those areas...

    A reminder of why we are level....

    You feel the tide is turning. Chelsea are feeling a bit confident but Arsenal have that threat with Pepe who is a magician.

    Pedro finds space where there was none and he runs at David Luiz. Could he have got a shot away? Instead he finds Reece James and the right-back slashes his shot way off target.

    Guy Mowbray makes the good point that while Chelsea have three of their five subs left they can only actually make one more change. They could bring three players one in one go but they can't stop the game more than once to make any subs, if that makes sense.

    Here's how the electric Christian Pulisic's day came to a painful end. Watch how his hamstring goes before he gets the shot away - and he still nearly scored!

    Almost! Jorginho has time and space in midfield and plays a lovely quarterback pass over the top. Mason Mount is clean through if he can bring the ball down - but it's a yard too long.

    Arsenal then come away and Alexandre Lacazette can only play the ball behind Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and he's closed down.

    Signs of the game opening up once more.

    It has been an enjoyable final. Arsenal and Chelsea have been brilliant at times this season but also inconsistent. It's been like going into the unknown with these two teams.

    Matt Capon: Is it the Wembley pitch or are we seeing an issue with Chelsea's preparation?

    Peter Walsh: Really like Arteta as a Manager, come on Arsenal.

    Stilted, stodgy, stoppage-ridden - this is more like the usual cup final stuff. It's everything the first half wasn't at the moment.

    Arsenal haven't got going since the resumption. It's all Chelsea so far.

    I was right behind Christian Pulisic when he went down. He was trying to open himself out but even before he struck the ball he slowed down. As soon as he struck it his hand went straight to the top of his hamstring and you saw the pain in his face. He slammed his hand on the ground. That looked really painful.

    What a blow for Chelsea and Christian Pulisic.

    No one can take this off him though.

    That was a great burst. Rob Holding does well to get back in the end!

    No time for Pedro to warm up - straight from the restart he leaves Rob Holding for dust, although the defender does well to get a touch on it and put his cross out for a corner. Chelsea starting the second half as brightly as they did the first.

    Christian Pulisic is helped off by two members of staff, anguish across his face. He lit up the final with the opening goal and that enterprising run.

    Pedro comes on for his final appearance in a Chelsea shirt.

    Oh no, no, no...

    Christian Pulisic has also picked up a hamstring injury. It went just as he reached the penalty area and before he took that shot.

    Sad to see as the youngster has been excellent.

  19. CLOSE!published at 46 mins

    Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea

    I think Sam is a Chelsea fan although his point probably applies to both sides. Christian Pulisic slices through the Arsenal defence straight from kick-off and curls just wide!

    What a run.

    Sam: Forget the attack, if we don't sort out our defence we are not gonna make top 4 next season. With our bright start, to concede like this is heart breaking.
