Just realised I didn't even mention Robin Van Persie - a real captain's performance and a clinical display of finishing takes him to the top of this season's Premier League scoring charts.

<b>Chelsea 3-5 Arsenal.</b> What an absolute pleasure to cover such an exciting game. Arsenal players celebrating like they've won the title. It's the first time Chelsea have conceded five goals in the Premier League. A resilient display from the Gunners and a failure by Chelsea to convert first-half chances has given Wenger's side a famous victory.

To call Arsenal a one-man team would perhaps be cruel but Van Persie is just so crucial. Wenger needs to tie him down to a new long-term contract ASAP.

I wouldn't like to say which way this is going to go but if I had to stick my neck out, I'd say Chelsea 4-3 Arsenal. We'll see...

Arsenal players were unhappy in the build-up to the Chelsea goal after Lukaku used his significant physical strength to ease Andre Santos away from the ball. The Gunners thought it was a free-kick, but I'd say it was fair physicality from the Belgian teenager.
