Arsenal vs Chelsea – LIVE
Arsenal have beaten Chelsea by a goal-to-nil, thus ending a run of three Premier League games without a victory. As a result, the Gunners have closed the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to 12 points and could cut it down to nine by the next time Arne Slot’s side are in action.
The only goal of the game came midway through the first-half as Mikel Merino headed home Martin Odegaard’s corner. In a London derby that lacked a lot of quality, Chelsea’s best chance came when David Raya almost let Marc Cucurella’s volley through his hands and into the bottom corner.
Enzo Maresca’s side are chasing Champions League qualification and the loss means the Blues miss the chance to create some distance between themselves and Manchester City in the battle, though they remain fourth in the Premier League table.
