‎Arsenal has reestablished a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League as they beat 10-man Chelsea 2-1‎
‎Defenders William Saliba and Jurrien Timber got Arsenal’s goals as Chelsea lost ground in the battle for a place in next season’s Champions League, after Pedro Neto was sent off 20 minutes from time.
‎Saliba forced home the opening goal on 21 minutes after Gabriel Magalhaes headed Eberechi Eze’s delivery back across goal.
‎Chelsea levelled from a corner of their own when Pedro Hincapie turned Reece James’ cross into his own net.
‎Timber’s winner just after the hour mark was the 16th goal Arsenal have scored from a corner in the Premier League this season, equalling the competition record.
‎Chelsea had a late equaliser cancelled for offside but defeat leaves Liam Rosenior’s men three points outside the top five, who will almost certainly secure a place in next season’s Champions League.
‎Second-placed Manchester City still have a game in hand on Arsenal and home advantage when the sides meet in the league next month.
