Arsenal have beaten Chelsea by a goal-to-nil, thus ending a run of three Premier League games without a victory. As a result, Arsenal have closed the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to 12 points and could cut it down to nine by the next time Arne Slot’s side are in action.

Mikel Merino's first-half header proved the difference as Arsenal strengthened their grip on second place in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over rivals Chelsea.
