An Arsenal ball boy was left angry with a Gunners star during their Premier League victory over Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners welcomed the Blues to Emirates Stadium looking to regain their lead at the top of the table over Manchester City to five points.
Mikel Arteta's side managed to get the win they needed as the Gunners ran out narrow victors. The hosts took the lead when William Saliba headed home following a set-piece, only for Chelsea to draw level when Piero HincapiƩ's glancing header found his own net.
Arsenal took the lead once more in the 66th minute when Jurrien Timber headed home a Declan Rice corner, their 22nd set-piece goal of the season, and it looked as if they would cruise to victory when Pedro Neto was sent off and Chelsea were reduced to 10-men.
Chelsea were the better team for the remainder of the game, though. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Liam Rosenior's side threw everything they had at Arsenal as they pushed for an equaliser. They weren't able to find a way past David Raya as the home side took all three points.

There was a comical moment involving Arsenal's ball boy following Timber's goal in the 66th minute. The Dutchman scored what turned out to be the winner after 24 minutes, sparking jubilant scenes in north London.
After heading past Robert Sanchez, Timber ran towards the corner and was followed by his teammates, including William Saliba.
The Frenchman couldn't contain his emotions as he booted a ball that was on the side of the pitch at the crowd. This didn't go down well with an Arsenal ball boy, who turned away to protect himself as Saliba prepared to strike the ball.
When Saliba made contact, the ball boy put his hands up in the air in frustration as if to say 'why did he do that?' The comical moment has gone viral on social media and you can view it below.

Arsenal are now just nine games away from becoming English champions for the first time since 2004. He said after the match, per Arsenal's official website:
"I'm trying to stay calm, but obviously we weren't getting the dominance and the sequences of play that we wanted and expected against the 10 men. So you have to navigate through that, and it's a big part of the game. When you see the manner in which other teams are winning games, everybody's suffering. The manner and the margins are so small, so it's good.
When asked about 'ugly' games between now and the end of the season, he said: "It's not ugly. You have to play the game that is there for you to play, and against Chelsea, you know exactly the game that you're going to play.
"For me, it's a beautiful game to play because they have so much quality, and you have to adapt so much to what they do, and they have to do the same against us. So the margins are very, very small, and the duels at the end decide these kinds of games. Hopefully we can play many top games like this."
