Chelsea captain Reece James has been speaking after the game too. Here's what he told Sky Sports: Asked about the importance of set-pieces, he said: Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber has been chatting to Sky Sports post-match. Asked whether he was enjoying the fight for the Premier League title, he said: How are we feeling after today's results then, folks? Get your comments in! I also feel for Liam Rosenior tonight. In my humble opinion, he was badly let down by Pedro Neto. It looks like Rosenior really put a lot of time and effort into those Chelsea set-pieces . More so the attacking ones, of course, as they still conceded two. But Arsenal really met their match and, should Neto have packed his sensible hat this evening, Chelsea could feasibly have taken at least a point. I don't know about you all, but I need a lie down after the ending of that game. Pedro Neto's red card, the disallowed goal from Chelsea at the end, it was all box office stuff. BUT. .. this moment stands out for me. What a save from David Raya at the death. Let's take another look, shall we? At times that was downright ugly from Arsenal tonight, but history remembers winners rather than performances, doesn't it? Now, there are just nine games standing between the Gunners and a first Premier League title since 2004. Let's have a look at those games, shall we? Arsenal have won it! You can hear the sighs of relief being breathed around the stands after that late Chelsea goal was disallowed. Three set-pieces. Three goals. And most importantly for Arsenal, three points. OH MY WORD! Chelsea have the ball in the back of the net through the substitute Liam Delap! Liam Rosenior is going wild on the touchline. .. but the FLAG GOES UP. Extraordinary drama here at the death inside the Emirates. Chelsea can't believe it. Joao Pedro was offside in the build-up. David Raya, that is absolutely incredible! Alejandro Garnacho had whipped in a menacing ball, curling straight for the bottom corner, but the Spaniard stretches his body out and uses his fingertips to poke it wide. The Arsenal crowd celebrate it like a goal! Six MASSIVE minutes for Arsenal, here! Can they hold on? The cross from Reece James is dealt with at the front post, and a huge cheer rings out as Arsenal get rid of the ball. Tosin Adarabioyo is on for Mamadou Sarr. The home crows are roaring their team onto victory here. We're into the final seconds of normal time, let's see how many minutes we get added. Chelsea have won a corner, though. They're still fighting. Why do Chelsea persist in playing the worst goalie. ..
