William Saliba headed Arsenal ahead from a Bukayo Saka corner in the 21st minute, only for Chelsea to equalize via Pierro Hincapié's own goal off Reece James before halftime. Jurrien Timber nodded the winner in the 66th, after Pedro Neto's second yellow left Chelsea with 10 men. The flashpoint came late when Alejandro Garnacho curled a delivery that David Raya clawed away, but statisticians ruled it a cross, costing punters like Mike on his 8.00 bet builder; even Juan Pablo Angel called it a clear shot on target, though bet365 stuck to Opta data.

Key Takeaway

Arsenal ground out a vital win to reclaim their five-point Premier League lead, but Chelsea sub Garnacho's late curler sparked chaos when Opta called it a cross—not a shot on target—ruining bettors' payouts.
