EPL: Arsenal defeat Chelsea to reinstate five-point lead

**Arsenal continued their dominance over Chelsea with a 2-1 win at the Emirates stadium on Sunday.**

The London derby was a highly competitive clash decided by set piece goals, Jurrien Timber with the winner after an own goal had earlier canceled Wiliam Saliba’s opener.

Chelsea were also reduced to ten men in the second period as Arsenal sealed consecutive wins to tighten their grip on top spot in the EPL title race.

Chelsea were jittery in the early stages, and Arsenal capitalized with the opener on 21 minutes, Saliba’s header from a corner kick finding the back of the net via a Chelsea player.

The Blues ensured both sides went into the break level, Reece James’ corner kick delivery forced Piero Hincape into an own goal, and 1-1 at halftime.

Liam Rosenior’s side were better at the start of the second period with chances for Enzo Fernandez and Joao Pedro, but Arsenal took the lead against the run of play, Timber rising highest to head into the net for what proved to be the winner.

There was time for another Chelsea red card, Pedro Neto accumulated two yellow cards in three minutes to receive his marching orders, and Chelsea’s seventh dismissal this season.

Arsenal held on to increase their lead over second-placed Manchester City to five points, with 64 points from 28 matches, while Chelsea, without a win in their last three EPL games, and have failed to win in nine EPL matches against Arsenal, are in sixth place, and six points from the highly coveted fourth place.
