    Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal

    "It's a bad tackler's challenge from Cazorla. He's a guy who's not very good at tackling. He tried to pull out but he caught Fabregas and he had to go. There was not an ounce of malice in the challenge, but he had to go."  

  2. RED CARD - Santi Cazorlapublished at 14:25

    Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal

    Uh oh. Arsenal's task of salvaging a point at Stamford Bridge has become even steeper. The 10 men have just become nine. Santi Cazorla swipes Cesc Fabregas's ankles, earning himself a second booking. Two yellows = red. And the Spaniard is joining Gabriel in the dressing room.

    Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal

    BBC Radio 5 live

    "Zouma is absolutely fantastic in the air, and a great ball in by Fabregas. Zouma has the best leap of any player I have ever seen. But he did not need to leap, there was no-one on him. A good header down and Cech, dropping, still could do nothing.

    "Arsenal cannot afford to concede another goal now. At the moment is it total dominance by Chelsea."

    GOAL - Chelsea 1-0 Arsenalpublished at 13:57

    Kurt Zouma (52 mins)

    Chelsea's numerical superiority makes a difference just seven minutes into the second half as Kurt Zouma nips in round the back of the Arsenal defence to head in a Cesc Fabregas free-kick.

    If Arsene Wenger was angry before the break, he will be fuming now.
