Desperately cruel on Arsenal and Arteta. Individual mistakes appears to have cost them once again.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea (Abraham): What a turnaround at the Emirates! It's a textbook goal on the counter-attack as Abraham nets an unlikely winner for Chelsea, slotting home after a Willian cutback.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea (Jorginho): Chelsea level - but it's oh so cruel on the Gunners. Mount whips a free-kick to the far post, Leno gets nowhere near it and Jorginho is left with a simple tap in. The Arsenal goalkeeper is caught in no man's land - a simple goalkeeping error undoes all of Arteta's hard work.

Arsenal have been much more aggressive than we are used to seeing and they are now only 10 minutes from securing the win that would take them just five points behind Chelsea.

Just wide! Half of the Emirates thought that was in! Willock is allowed space to fire a shot at goal from the edge of the box but it's just wide of Kepa's post.
77'
Yellow card! Jorginho already on a yellow, fouls Guendouzi, but the card is shown to Lacazette who wanted the Chelsea midfielder booked.

Arsenal sub: Joe Willock replaces Ozil, who leaves to applause and supporters singing his name.

Save! Abraham is left unmarked from the resulting corner but he can't get any direction in his header and it's a straight forward save for Leno.

Mount tries to cut the ball back across the face of goal but Luiz reacts quickest, poking it behind for a Chelsea corner before Abraham can pounce.

You sense the tide is finally turning Chelsea's way - and they have more than enough time to change the outcome.
