Showing the tenacity we've come to expect from this Chelsea squad, the Blues have quickly pulled back a goal at the Emirates. The problem: they need two more before they'll have a result. But given the shock of giving up two goals in the second half's first eight minutes, given Branislav Ivanovic and teammates some credit. The defender's 57th minute goal, heading in service from Didier Drogba, has made it 3-1.

The goal came from a set piece, with Drogba curling a ball in toward the far post, a kick spotted 32 yards out, to the left-center in Arsenal's half. Ivanovic got a good run up on the ball he connected with eight yards out, beating Lukacz Fabianski for Chelsea's first goal.
Now in the 68th minute, Arsenal has recovered well from the goal, with Samir Nasri nearly scoring in the 67th minute after a defensive error of Gaël Kakuta. José Bosingwa has been brought on at right back for Paulo Ferreira, but the score remains the same. Arsenal has a 3-1 lead over Chelsea.
