Fabulous meet-up with the gaygooners before kick-off yesterday. Spirits were high and the chat was all about a win.
The game itself was more nervy however. Despite a rather one-sided opening 20 minutes in Arsenal's favour, no goals came.
Then superman Mikel Merino stepped up. His header took us into the lead.
Chelsea struggled to respond - Pedro Neto and Christopher Nkunku both had shots blocked before Cucurella thumped a volley that squirmed through David Raya's grasp and dropped just wide.
The result ended our three-game winless run in the Premier League and tighten our grip on the runners-up spot.
While the game will not live long in the memory, three points were vital for Mikel Arteta's side. We still trail champions-elect Liverpool by 12 points and we could have been forgiven for looking over their shoulders at third-placed Nottingham Forest.
Onwards and upwards, my friends.
