Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea

They are just checking this as the contact started outside the area...

Penalty! Cesar Azpilicueta with a rare error, the Chelsea man misjudges the flight of the ball and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is in on goal.

Azpi has a hand on his shoulder and the Gunners skipper goes down. Penalty and a booking for the Spain defender.

It's the right decision... just. It was a great finish though and a great move from Arsenal.

Well Arsenal do have the ball in the net but the offside flag was long since raised...

It's a cracking 'goal' as well, Nicolas Pepe burying a curler into the top corner from 20 yards but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had drifted off in the build up.

We're back up and running. Arsenal yet to seriously test Willy Caballero and that must be the first step back towards final parity.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has made little impact so far other than that early opportunity. Arsenal haven't got going.

The question is: Is this his last game for Arsenal?

And here is that opening goal to enjoy/recoil from...

Drinks. Chelsea's electric start gives them the lead but since then Arsenal have had plenty of it.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles keeps getting in there. With his pace, he is a threat. Chelsea are playing a high line... He's causing Chelsea problems down that left-hand side.

Nicolas Pepe almost loses the ball inside his own area, so high is the Chelsea press, but Arsenal get out and Ainsley Maitland-Niles threatens briefly down the left.

That's disappointing. Dani Ceballos gets it up and over the wall but cannot get the dip. He should have let David Luiz take it.

Arsenal just need to replace Patrick Vieira in the centre of the park don't they. Give them time.

They've had a good five minutes - seeing much of the play at the moment.

Paul: We've lost. Our defenders and defensive midfielders don't want to tackle it seems and the likes of Pepe still insist on trying to walk it in at other end. Just shoot!

Paul seems like a glass half empty type of man...

Dani Ceballos takes the free-kick, hits it well and gets plenty of dip on it, but just not quite enough and the ball lands on the roof of the net.

Mateo Kovacic now gives away another free-kick, much closer to home this time. Shooting chance coming up...

Mateo Kovacic will have to be careful now. I always think Chelsea control games better when he's playing. He's been a big plus for Frank Lampard this season.

Chelsea very slick here and Pulisic a real dangerman. The American's pace and movement is too much for Arsenal at the moment. The Gunners need to settle.

I think I heard someone say on air that Mason Mount has featured in 51 of 53 games for Chelsea this year which is some effort.

Mateo Kovacic now takes a slack touch in midfield and Granit Xhaka nips in well to win it - they clash shins painfully and Kovacic goes into the book.

Arsenal are shell-shocked. It's been all Chelsea. What a season Mason Mount has had overall this season. We talked about Frank Lampard and what he has had to work with. He has really given young players a chance and its paid dividends.

Arsenal now attack well and win a corner - but Nicolas Pepe guns it clean out of play.
