Chelsea 1 Arsenal 2

Robin van Persie put Arsenal back into the Premier League title race with a superb second-half double to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Van Persie struck twice in three minutes after the Blues had taken a first half lead through a fortuious Johan Djourou own goal.

But while the Dutch striker's second goal was sheer class, his equaliser was clearly scored from an offside position.

The victory helped Arsenal to move back into the top four and cut the gap between them and Chelsea to seven points

Chelsea have not won at home now for three games and the flowing football that allowed them to destroy Sunderland 5-0 at the start of the month has deserted them.
