Arsenal edge out Chelsea, Fulham beat Spurs

Arsenal defeated Chelsea 1-0 at the Emirates in a London derby match.
Chelsea was without the injured Cole Palmer, and Enzo Maresca's side is currently fourth-placed, striving to reach the Champions League.
Mikel Merino's 19th-minute header from Martin Odegaard's corner proved decisive, though Gabriel Martinelli's cross was pinpoint and Merino met it with a crisp instep to guide the ball goalwards.
In the 36th minute, Chelsea mounted an attack, including a blocked shot from Pedro Neto and a thumping volley from Cucurella that squeezed through David Raya's grasp but dropped just wide, relieving Raya.
The victory ended Arsenal's three-game winless run in the Premier League and strengthened their grip on second place, while Mikel Arteta's side displayed effectiveness at set-pieces, contrasting with Chelsea's slow and timorous approach that lacked bite, causing them to stumble in their bid.
