Arsenal moved back to the top of the Premier League as Gabriel Magalhaes sealed a gritty 1-0 win against Chelsea after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's revenge mission fell flat on Sunday. | Sport24news

Mikel Arteta's side made it 11 wins from 13 league games thanks to a close-range finish from Brazilian defender Gabriel in the second half at Stamford Bridge.

After beating Tottenham and Liverpool at home earlier this season, winning in west London was another significant statement from Arsenal as their unexpected challenge gathers pace. Exiling Aubameyang has proved an inspired move by Arteta as Arsenal look a far more unified and determined group without the sulking striker.

Seventh-placed Chelsea lacked Arsenal's urgency and now trail the leaders by 13 points, with even a top four finish far from certain. Ben White fired narrowly wide from the edge of the area after a flowing move cut through the Blues rearguard.Gabriel Jesus robbed Ruben Loftus-Cheek and the Brazilian's menacing run took him into the Chelsea area before Thiago Silva snuffed out the danger with a superbly-timed sliding tackle.

Arteta joined a furious exchange between the two coaching staffs and Saka responded by scything down Cucurella moments later as the Arsenal star was booked.
