Arsenal Triumphs Over Chelsea Ending Four-Match Winless Streak

Arsenal triumphed over their London rivals, Chelsea, with a narrow 1-0 victory, securing their first win after four Premier League clashes without one. The highlight of Sunday’s match was a decisive headed goal from substitute striker Mikel Merino, keeping Arsenal’s slim chances of closing the gap with the dominant leaders, Liverpool, alive.

Merino’s crucial contribution came in the 20th minute when he expertly flicked a looping header over Chelsea’s goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez. This goal came from a well-delivered corner by Martin Odegaard. Following this victory, Arsenal remained in second place, trailing 12 points behind Liverpool, who were preparing to challenge Newcastle United in the League Cup final later that same day.
