Both Chelsea and Arsenal needed a win but Arsenal carried the day with a narrow win to consolidate their second position on the table because Nothingham Forest is just one point behind the gunners before the Chelsea match, in the other hand Chelsea is aiming to consolidate their top four spot on the table because Man City is a point behind them a win against Arsenal today would have boast their chances for UCL qualifications next season unfortunately lost today match thus putting the team with more pressure as the league is coming to an end top four qualification would be tougher.

Well said, both teams actually needed the win to further cement a place in their respective positions. Chelsea would have gone 4 points ahead of Manchester for the top 4 finish if they had won and Arsenal would would have being only 1 point ahead of 3rd placed Nottingham Forest if they had lost. So my take is, Arsenal needed the win more than the Blues that's why they played better and out of all the chances they created only one was found at the back of the net and sealed the win for them. Chelsea in that game really didn't play well for me in the first half and that was when I left the game to do other things because the game was already boring to me.

A draw would have been better off for Chelsea and if Arsenal had not gotten the victory, and even from the result which is 1: 0, It looked like one of the teams, if not both of them were looking for a draw from that game, knowing it will be better for them get a point draw than losing. Now if Newcastle are able to win their outstanding match against Crystal Palace, they will move up to the 4th position leaving Chelsea to drop to the 5th position.
