Former Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira and Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge have analysed two controversial incidents from Chelsea's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal that could have resulted in penalty appeals for the Blues. The analysis comes after a tense London derby where Chelsea felt aggrieved by refereeing decisions that went against them.

The match at Stamford Bridge saw Chelsea lose ground in the Premier League title race, with the defeat leaving them further behind leaders Arsenal. Both Vieira and Sturridge, speaking as pundits, highlighted specific moments where Chelsea players went down in the box under Arsenal challenges, suggesting the referee should have pointed to the spot.

While the exact incidents weren't detailed in the analysis, penalty decisions in high-stakes Premier League matches often spark intense debate. Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino will likely face questions about these decisions in his post-match press conference, as the Argentine coach seeks to keep his team focused despite what he may view as missed opportunities to gain crucial points against their London rivals.
