Gyökeres goalless in Arsenal's 2-1 home victory over Chelsea

Viktor Gyökeres was substituted after 75 minutes, goalless, in Arsenal's 2-1 home victory over Chelsea in the Premier League.

The Swedish striker scored twice in the 4-1 away derby win over Tottenham a week ago. This time it was two defenders who scored the goals, both from corners that have become a signature of Arsenal under manager Mikel Arteta.

William Saliba made it 1–0 from a right-hand corner in the first half. Jurriën Timber headed home a left-hand corner in the second half to make it 2–1. Chelsea had also equalised from a corner in first-half stoppage time after Arsenal's Piero Hincapié headed a Reece James corner into his own goal.

Arsenal lead the Premier League by five points ahead of Manchester City, having played one more game.
