Arsenal Tops Chelsea 2-1 to Maintain EPL Lead

In a highly competitive London derby, Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Chelsea, reinstating their five-point lead in the Premier League title race. The match saw Chelsea's William Saliba score an own goal in the 21st minute, leveling the score after Saliba's initial header from a corner kick had given Arsenal the lead.

Chelsea's Piero Hincapié inadvertently equalized with an own goal following a corner delivered by Reece James. In the second half, Arsenal regained the lead through Jurrien Timber, who scored with a header, marking the decisive goal of the match.

Chelsea's Pedro Neto received a second yellow card, resulting in a red card and leaving Chelsea with ten men. This match marked Chelsea's seventh dismissal of the season, and they have now gone three EPL games without a win, failing to secure victory in nine matches against Arsenal.

Arsenal now holds 64 points from 28 matches, maintaining a five-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City.
