On Sunday at 16:00, intriguing matches of the 20th round were played in the English Premier League.
At the Emirates Stadium, two London teams - Arsenal and Chelsea - clashed. Leading for most of the match, the Gunners suffered a painful defeat as the Blues scored two goals in four minutes and celebrated a 2:1 victory.
With this win, Chelsea maintained a four-point advantage over Manchester United in fifth place. On the other hand, Arsenal, without a win in their last four matches, fell to 12th place.
Arsenal started the match aggressively and took the lead in the 13th minute when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored with a header after a corner kick.
Arsenal continued their dominance for about 15 minutes, but Chelsea returned to their usual rhythm of play. Frank Lampard's substitution of Emerson with Jorginho made a significant impact.
In the second half, Arsenal focused on defense and it seemed to pay off. Chelsea made several sharp passes into the opponents' penalty area, but Bernd Leno was up to the task. However, Arsenal's advantage dissolved in the 83rd minute when Jorginho scored after Leno failed to hold onto the ball during a standard situation.
For Arsenal, who had worked hard in defense, this was a huge blow. The situation worsened in the 87th minute when Willian dribbled through the entire field, passed to Tammy Abraham, who scored the winning goal. Abraham turned and directed the ball into the opponents' goal, securing the victory for Chelsea.
