"Arsenal passed a major examination of their Premier League title credentials after Jurrien Timber and William Saliba both scored from corners in a 2-1 win over 10-man Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. A week after they thumped Tottenham, Arsenal recorded another pivotal triumph to restore their five-point advantage over Manchester City, albeit having played a game more."
"Saliba sent the hosts on their way midway through the first half when he converted Bukayo Saka's corner, only for Piero Hincapie to put through his own net in first-half stoppage time. Chelsea's equaliser, which also arrived from a corner, rocked the Gunners, but they were back ahead after 66 minutes when Timber headed home Declan Rice's inswinger."
"Pedro Neto received a yellow card for complaining about Timber's goal and then landed a second booking just minutes later after he scythed down Gabriel Martinelli. It resulted in Chelsea's seventh red card in the league this season and their second in as many matches."
