On Monday, in the last and central matches of the XIX round of the English Premier League, Arsenal footballers easily defeated another London team, Chelsea, in front of their own fans with a score of 3-1 and rose to second place in the tournament table.

The "Gunners" broke through in the end of the first half, when after a scramble in the penalty area, Alexandre Song sent the ball into the net guarded by Petr Cech.

After the break, the hosts were not inclined to just defend against the attacks of their opponents and taking advantage of two mistakes by Carlo Ancelotti's players, they decided the outcome of the match - 3-0.

However, four minutes after Theo Walcott's goal, Branislav Ivanovic softened the score, but that was all the "Blues" could demonstrate at the Emirates Stadium.

With the victory, the Arsenal team reduced the gap from the leading Manchester United to two points in the championship, but the "Red Devils" have played one game less.
