The accurate strike by defender Sebastien Squillaci determined London's Arsenal victory in the only Wednesday match of the English Premier League against Stoke.
However, the success was overshadowed by the injuries of the capital team's stars Cesco Fabregas and Theo Walcott, which forced them to be substituted.
Squillaci scored the winning goal at the start of the match with a header after a precise pass from Nicklas Bendtner. The three points allowed Arsenal to reduce the gap from leader Man Utd to just one point, but Sir Alex Ferguson's proteges have played one game less.
