ARSENAL, CHELSEA BATTLE TO A DRAW (BACK PAGE, MAY 6, 2010)

A last-minute tussle which ensued between officials of Berekum Arsenal and Bechem Chelsea F/C in their penultimate Glo Premier League derby at the Golden City Park yesterday nearly marred the beauty of the match.
Just as Suhum-based FIFA Referee William Agbovi was about to end the game, which ended 1-1, a die-hard supporter of Arsenal and an official of Chelsea openly decided to test their strength in the full glare of the security officials.
It would have turned bloody but for the timely intervention of the security.
At one stage a supporter of Arsenal and an official of Chelsea engaged in a serious brawl on the grounds. The Chairman of Arsenal, Alhaji Yakubu Moro, was prevented by security personnel from taking part in the brawl.
In the match itself, which was full of action and exciting exchanges, Chelsea took the lead on the 30th minute through winger Abdul Mohammed Basit before Nana Poku equalised for the home team during injury time of the first half.
