Arsenal sent a message to the rest of the Premier League on Sunday that will force them to sit up and take notice of Mikel Arteta's side. Victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge returned them to the top of the table and made it three consecutive wins in west London for the first time since 1974.
The Gunners were the better side against their London rivals and could have won by more. Gabriel's close-range finish in the 63rd minute was enough after he pounced to turn Bukayo Saka's corner home in front of the travelling supporters.
Chelsea struggled throughout the afternoon on Sunday and ex-Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was denied his dream moment after failing to make an impact against his former side. Graham Potter's side managed only five shots compared to Arsenal's 14 throughout the contest, stretching their winless run to four games.
