SPANIARDS Fernando Torres and Juan Mata gave Arsenal El during a pulsating London derby at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners took on Chelsea looking to their own Spanish star Santi Cazorla to continue the form that had given them a promising start to the season.
But Cazorla was snuffed out and the Blues grabbed the points thanks to goals from Torres and Mata either side of Gervinho�s leveller.
Mata hit the winner from a 53rd-minute free-kick aimed to the far post that bounced past Vito Mannone.
Earlier, Torres� opportunistic strike gave Chelsea the lead on 20 minutes. That was cancelled out by Gervinho�s snapshot inside the box just before the break.Chelsea were thankful to keeper Petr Cech, who made a brilliant late stop to keep out Olivier Giroud�s deflected effort. And the French striker was left with his head in his hands in injury time when he arrowed a presentable chance into the side-netting.
