    FT: 0-1. Emile Smith-Rowe's goal the difference for Arsenal, who take home all three points. Chelsea failed to generate enough chances against an Arsenal side who defended well. In the end it was an error from Jorginho that cost his side, leaving a HUGE result in the race for top four!
  • 96'
    One final chance for Chelsea! James's cross is awfully cleared by Gabriel who heads straight into the path of Jorginho, but luckily for the CB his header deflects off Jorginho and out for a goal-kick.

en el 16' (Arsenal)
  • 16 '
    Goal to Arsenal!!! Smith-Rowe scores! Jorginho's back pass to Kepa is dreadful, nearly scoring an own goal as he doesn't look back to where the GK is standing. The Spaniard chases back to save it heroically on the line but Aubameyang follows up and sets up Smith-Rowe who makes it 0-1. Shocking mistake from Jorginho!
