Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's 1-0 victory over London rivals Chelsea.

Our makeshift forward Mikel Merino was the difference, as Arsenal got back on the scoresheet via a set piece for the first time since January.

The panel give Jurrien Timber his flowers, talk about the petulance on display from some of Chelsea's players and discuss Martinelli's return to the starting XI.

Plus, favourite Arsenal Patrick's on St Patrick's day, Myles Lewis-Skelly's first England call up, and Bukayo Saka's potential return.
