Arsenal's 3-1 loss at West Brom has further dented their bid to finish in the Premier League top four and takes top billing in tonight's Match of the Day.
Two Craig Dawson headers either side of Hal Robson-Kanu pouncing on David Ospina spilling a cross were too much for the visitors, whose goal came from Alexis Sanchez.
As Arsenal fans battled out over Arsene Wenger’s future with aerial protests, the Gunners found themselves utterly outclassed by a powerful, organised Albion side.
Chelsea, helped by Gary Cahill's 87th-minute header, beat Stoke City to open up a 13-point gap at the top of the table. It takes second spot in the programme.
