What were the key moments in Arsenal's victory over Chelsea?
You're listening to the Sky Sports Premier League podcast. There were two London derbies live on Sky Sports on Sunday as Fulham played Spurs before Arsenal took on Chelsea. Here's how things sounded when the games had finished.
And there is the full-time whistle. Back-to-back defeats to start the Igor Tudor reign at Tottenham Hotspur. Another London derby, another defeat. But as far as Marco Silva and Fulham are concerned, they have back-to-back wins. They finished February with a win at the Stadium of Light, and they followed it up with a hard-fought win in the end here against Spurs.
Arsenal win, and that is all that matters. Arsenal remain in charge. A puff of the cheeks, a recognition that that was a long way from comfortable. That Chelsea, even a man shy, scared them witless at the end. But Arsenal won, and that is the point.
Saliba's first goal of the Premier League season set them on their way, of course, from a set-piece.
Incapier's own goal increased the jeopardy just before half-time. Uri and Timber came crashing through the crowd to win it for a second time. Neto thereafter was sent off, which made life a shade more comfortable, but barely a shade. It's another tight, tight day of jeopardy, and Gary, Arsenal have found the way again, not least because of him.
Yeah, they have, and it's never easy when the team that you're up against plays first on a Saturday, they win, they get their points on the board, and then you've got to respond... and he said before the game it doesn't add pressure but it does trust me adds pressure and you've got to get over the line and they have got over the line it's hard work winning a premier league title and they're finding that and they've got another 10 to 12 weeks of this but a good day for them today Declan Rice you'd be hoping he's okay and not too bad
So for Arsenal, another box ticked, a substantial, a big blue box ticked, and the race by a short head remains tilted Arsenal's way. Dave, Arsenal 2, Chelsea 1. Well, it's exhausting watching Arsenal for these Gunners fans around us. It's a case again of relief at the final whistle and preserving that advantage they have at the top. Five points, once again, their lead stays in Arsenal hands. But remember, it's also in Manchester City's hands because they have that game in hand and because they host Arsenal. In April, do not forget, it's all building towards that, isn't it? But that is a major hurdle negotiated for Arsenal in this tense run-in against Chelsea side who are fighting for Champions League football, but they have...
Slipped away from the pack this weekend with Liverpool winning. Aston Villa coming closer to them after their defeat to Wolves on Friday night.
How did the red card impact Chelsea's performance?
Manchester United winning again under Michael Carrick this afternoon and climbing into third place. Important victory for Arsenal. It was a case of set pieces this afternoon that got the job done. And playing a key part in all of it was William Saliba. who I think we're going to hear from very shortly. Timber played a big part as well, didn't he? David Raya came up with that huge save with just moments to go and that tense decision as well when the ball was in the net, but the flag went up and Arsenal's win was preserved. So as they are singing the Saliba song, we can hand down to William Saliba with Patrick Davison.
William, your song echoing around the stadium, how hard-earned was that?
today it was not an easy game against a top team like we should not consider the goal before the half-time but we did well the second half to score and set pieces with a beautiful goal of JT and now we have to keep going and we are so happy to win today in front of our fans I feel like I've not heard this song for a little while it's a catchy one isn't it? Yeah it's really good especially after a good win like this so yeah
you're in, it's the important thing you get over the line in games like that, however you do it. I think that's the most important thing, but at the same time, I think we deserve to win this game.
