Chelsea revived their ailing Premier League title defense as
second-half goals from Kurt Zouma and Eden Hazard scored second-half
goals gave the champions a 2-0 victory over an Arsenal side that
finished with nine men at Stamford Bridge.
Zouma, starting in place of captain John Terry, had made the breakthrough in a tight, tense and often fractious encounter at Stamford Bridge, when heading in Cesc Fabregas’ free-kick eight minutes after the interval.

But rather than a first Premier League goal for the young Frenchman, it
will be the sending off of Arsenal defender Gabriel that will be the
main talking point from the latest meeting between fierce managerial
rivals Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho.
Chelsea had been marginally on top before a real moment of controversy in first-half injury time enlivened proceedings and ultimately turned the tide decisively in their favor.
