Arsenal beat 10-man Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium, scoring twice from corners to regain a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
After a quiet start, William Saliba’s header from a Bukayo Saka corner opened the scoring. Chelsea equalised via an own goal from Piero Hincapie, but Jurrien Timber’s header from Declan Rice’s corner secured the win—Arsenal’s 16th goal from a corner this season.
Late drama saw Pedro Neto sent off for Chelsea after a second yellow card, while a late Liam Delap goal was ruled out for offside. The victory puts Arsenal on 64 points, five clear of Manchester City, with a game more played.
