Mikel Arteta usually looks delighted when the whistle sounds for an Arsenal win. He’s not smiling right now. He puffs out his cheeks and exhales hard. He knows that was a hard-won victory, one in which his side didn’t play well, but ground out the three points they so desperately needed in the title race. Chelsea gave as good as they got in the second half, but an implosion midway through it cost them the match. Arsenal re-establish their five-point cushion at the top, having played a game more than Manchester City; Chelsea meanwhile slip behind in the race for Champions League qualification.
Arsenal make it over the line! It wasn’t pretty, and Chelsea ran them so close at the end, but things like that matter little at this stage of the season!
90 min +6: Pedro, his back to goal on the penalty spot, juggles the ball with his head before sending an overhead kick goalwards. Raya parries. Delap forces the ball into the bottom right. Goal! Goal? No goal! Pedro was a mile offside when the first ball was sent into the box!
