Image source, Getty ImagesThe numbers from Sunday show just how close Arsenal’s win over Chelsea was.
Arsenal only generated an xG of 1.09 with five of their 12 shots on target, but scored twice.
However, Chelsea were not far behind with the Blues registering an xG of 1.07 with nine attempted efforts and three on target. They also hit the woodwork once.
Liam Rosenior's side also had 58.9% of the possession but they are now winless in their past three games.
But his counterpart, Mikel Arteta, would be happy to take the points however they come as long as they keep coming at this stage.
