Cristiano Ronaldo denies Chelsea to hand Arsenal a second Champions League chance

A recent resurgence has seen Arsenal wrestle back control of the Premier League top-four race from Tottenham Hotspur as well as potentially placing themselves in contention to battle Chelsea for third.

Just over a week ago, it appeared the Gunners were going to struggle to even finish fourth let alone contemplate the idea of hunting down Thomas Tuchel's side after losing three games on the bounce against Crystal Palace, Brighton and Southampton which left them three points off the final Champions League spot - albeit having played one game fewer than Spurs.
