Arsenal and Chelsea emerged as winners in the two London derbies played in the Premier League on Sunday.
While the Gunners romped to a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby to go eight points clear at the top of the table, the Blues squeezed out a lone-goal victory against Crystal Palace in the day’s other derby.
Attention was rightly more on the Northern Derby due to its likely bearing on the race for the Premier League title.
