Arsenal corner Chelsea into submission, Man Utd climb to thirdJurrien Timber's goal gave Arsenal a five-point lead at the top of the Premier LeagueLONDON - Arsenal reestablished a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League as the Gunners overcame 10-man Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday, while Benjamin Sesko fired Manchester United up to third with victory over Crystal Palace. Saliba forced home the opening goal on 21 minutes after Gabriel Magalhaes headed Eberechi Eze's delivery back across goal. Chelsea levelled from a corner of their own when Pedro Hincapie turned Reece James' cross into his own net. Timber's winner just after the hour mark was the 16th goal Arsenal have scored from a corner in the Premier League this season -- equalling the competition record. Richarlison headed in a late consolation for Tottenham, but they remain the only Premier League side without a win in 2026.
