Chelsea 0 Arsenal 1 LIVE RESULT: Gabriel FIRES Gunners to top Premier League table as Blues poor – latest

  • Arteta pleased with performance

    Arsenal return to the top of the table, two points clear of Man City in second place.

    They entertain Brighton at The Emirates in the EFL Cup this week before travelling to Wolves on the weekend.

    Chelsea meanwhile, have two tricky trips this week, away to Man City in the EFL CUP on Wednesday before travelling to Newcastle on the weekend.

  • Jesus saves, Gabriel knocks in rebound

    The goal itself today came from the hunger of Gabriel Jesus to hound Thiago Silva and nick the ball from the centre back.

    He got to the byline and tried to beat Mendy at his near post, which then gave Arsenal a corner.

    Saka’s ball is not dealt with in the box and it may have gone straight in but for Gabriel poking the ball in on the line.

    Despite his goal return, Jesus works hard for his team mates and turns into a provider more than goalscorer.

    He integral to this win today.

  • Potter left wondering yet again

    Graham Potter must be infuriated with what he is seeing out on the pitch with his Chelsea side.

    This is a squad that has been put together at vast cost, they have strength and depth to call upon also.

    Something has got to give.
