"Mikel Arteta's side struck twice from corners and also conceded from the same route in a match that underlined the increasing importance of set-pieces in the Premier League."
"After enduring scathing criticism of their mentality during a recent wobble that breathed new life into the title race, Arsenal have got back on track just in time as they followed last weekend's 4-1 rout of Tottenham with a far more tense triumph."
"The Gunners, through to the League Cup final, the Champions League last 16 and the FA Cup fifth round, have just one top-flight match left against sides currently in the top six - a potentially decisive trip to Manchester City on April 18."
Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium, with set-pieces proving decisive in the match. William Saliba opened the scoring from a corner in the first half, but Piero Hincapie's own goal from Reece James' corner equalized before halftime. Jurrien Timber's second-half header won the match for Arsenal. Chelsea's Pedro Neto received a second booking and was sent off late in the game. The victory marked Arsenal's second consecutive league win, reestablishing their five-point lead over Manchester City, who have a game in hand. Arsenal face Brighton on Wednesday with nine matches remaining in their title pursuit.
