Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson believes Arsenal now have it back 'in their hands' to qualify for next season's Champions League after they won a six-goal thriller at Chelsea.
Eddie Nketiah's brace, Emile Smith Rowe's wonderfully taken goal and Bukayo Saka's stoppage-time penalty helped the Gunners end a run of three straight Premier League defeats with a 4-2 victory at Stamford Bridge.
The Gunners jumped up from sixth place to fifth even before they had played following Manchester United's disastrous defeat at Liverpool on Tuesday evening.
Now Mikel Arteta's men only trail arch rivals Tottenham - who currently sit in fourth - on goal difference and Merson believes his former club now hold the advantage in the race to seal that last spot in the top four.
