Recap

Arsenal and Burnley played out an entertaining match on Sunday, in which Sanchez proved the hero by scoring a late winner.

Shkodran Mustafi had given the hosts the lead before Granit Xhaka lost his cool and lunged into Steven Defour, earning a straight red card for his troubles. Andre Gray converted a penalty early in injury time, and things looked dire for the Gunners, who had also lost manager Arsene Wenger at that point.

The Frenchman had been sent to the stands and pushed an official along the way, something he acknowledged was a big mistake after the match, per Oliver Kay of The Times:

But there was more drama still to come. Eight minutes into injury time, Laurent Koscielny was caught by a high boot, and while the Frenchman was clearly offside, the hosts were still awarded a penalty.

Sanchez stepped up and calmly converted with a Panenka to gift his side all three points.

Per WhoScored.com, the Chilean has been in absurdly good form of late:

The result momentarily left Arsenal just five points behind Chelsea, but the Blues still had to feature on Sunday as they hosted Hull City.

Not to be outdone by Sanchez, his main rival to be the Premier League's top scorer, the returning Costa, bagged a goal in the first half to put Chelsea ahead.

Former England international Gary Lineker couldn't help himself:

The Blues were far from at their best on Sunday, but defensively, they didn't give up too many chances, and Gary Cahill's goal in the second half secured the win.

With the three points, the Blues still sport an eight-point lead over the rest of the pack. The majority of the top title contenders all dropped points during the weekend, and with a suspension for Wenger a possibility, Chelsea are the big winners of Week 22.

Elsewhere, Jay Rodriguez got on the board in Southampton's 3-0 win over Leicester City. James Ward-Prowse and Dusan Tadic also added their names to the scoresheet.
