Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea

Mikel Merino’s first-half header was enough to win a hotly-contested London derby against Chelsea.
The Spaniard – starting his sixth consecutive game up front – flicked in Martin Odegaard’s corner to give us a deserved lead on 20 minutes.

 
There were few clear-cut chances for either side after that, though Merino came closest to doubling our advantage in the second-half, with a well-struck volley that Robert Sanchez batted away.

But the one goal was enough to consolidate our second-position in the table, while also making it seven successive Premier League games against Chelsea without defeat.
