With the draw, Chelsea fans can have a sigh of relief, as the club manages to end their 30-month barren run of not finishing in the Top 3 of the Premier League season after the conclusion of a Matchday.
Since the start of the 2022/23 season, Chelsea have endured a torrid run across all competitions and few managerial changes, as the former champions have failed to find a worthy replacement of Thomas Tuchel.
Enzo Maresca's arrival at the club has brought in some much needed stability as the 'Blues' are finally functioning as a united for the first time in a while.
