Gabriel’s header straight at Thibaut Courtois

Just before half-time, the away side experienced their best spell of the game, with the best chance falling to Gabriel. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain delivered an inch-perfect cross into the heart of the penalty area, but the Brazilian substitute could only head straight at Thibaut Courtois in the Chelsea goal.

The Belgian comfortably tipped the ball over the crossbar, but this will be the moment where many Arsenal fans will feel that they could have taken something from the game.

Despite Chelsea’s dominance, a goal at this stage of the game would have turned the game on its head and drawn the scores back level just in time for the second half.
