Arsenal have managed to pick up three critical points in the Premier League and that too by beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The Gunners went into this match at the back of three defeats but they have managed to turn things around with a 4-2 win meaning they are now level on points with fourth-placed Arsenal.
Arsenal came back from behind not once but twice to take the lead and in the end, they managed to secure all three points thanks to an injury-time penalty.
This win means the Emirates outfit are once again the favourites to secure the final Champions League spot because they will still have a game in hand. If Spurs can keep winning their set of games as well then the North London Derby next month could be the decider.
Eddie Nketiah has scored 7 goals from 10 shots on target this season.

Arsenal player ratings vs Chelsea:
Ramsdale: 6.2/10
He had a very decent outing but the two goals he’s conceded will not help his stats.
Holding: 6.8/10
Holding was brought in as the third central defender and he did not dissapoint. Overall he made four clearances along with two blocks.
Gabriel: 6.4/10
He won 50% of his tackles and made a whopping six clearances.
Nuno Tavares: 6/10
The left-back looked really shaky throughout the match and he made a series of errors on either side of the half-way line.
Ben White: 6.4/10
He would move out wide on the right-side of defence when Arsenal were in advanced position and when Chelsea were attacking, he would slot in as the third central defender.
Overall, he had a decent game with two clearances and one block.

Elneny: 7/10
The manager put faith on him to partner Granit Xhaka in the absence of Thomas Partey and it’s safe to say Elneny came out with flying colours. He made four key interceptions along with six recoveries.
Granit Xhaka: 6.6/10
Deputised really well in midfield despite the absence of Thomas Partey. He made two key interceptions along with nine ball recoveries.
Martin Odegaard: 7.2/10

The youngster held his nerve to score the fourth and final for Arsenal, helping his side secure all three points.
Emile Smith Rowe: 7.5/10
The youngster had two shots on target out of which one one ended in the back of the net. He was brilliant on the night and this performance has surely pushed him up the pecking order.
Eddie Nketiah: 8.8/10
He had a dream 70 minutes on the pitch as he scored two crucial goals for Arsenal, the first one was the opener and then he scored again in the 57th minute to put Chelsea’s noses infront.
Substitutes:
Gabriel Martinelli: 6.2/10
He was brought on to replace Eddie Nkeitah and he did faily well for the 20 minutes that he was on the pitch.
Cedric: 6.8/10
He made some very good runs and could have very easily ended the match with an assist.
Lacazette: N/A
