Set-piece success sees Arsenal edge Chelsea as Raya shines

Arsenal scraped a 2-1 win over Chelsea at the Emirates, moving five points clear at the top of the Premier League. Both Gunners goals came from corners: William Saliba opened the scoring from a Gabriel Magalhaes header back across the six-yard box, and Jurrien Timber nodded home a Declan Rice delivery in the 66th minute.

Chelsea's equaliser arrived when Piero Hincapie deflected an in-swinger from Reece James past Robert Sanchez, and Pedro Neto was later sent off after picking up two yellow cards. David Raya was Arsenal's standout, making a sharp reaction save from a deflected Chelsea corner and denying Joao Pedro, earning an 8/10.

Timber (7/10), Saliba (7/10) and Gabriel Magalhaes (7/10) all contributed at both ends, though Saliba had some nervy moments and Hincapie was rated 5/10 after misjudging the corner and producing an overall below-par display.
