Arsenal were Fifa Coins a different side in the second-half, but the task was just too much for them. Chelsea defended too deep and that allowed Arsenal to press forward in numbers. Terry was forced to play much of the second period with his thigh heavily strapped after a muscle injury, but there was little chance of him deserting his post. Theo Walcott should have done better when clean through, but got caught in two minds and, before he could get his shot away, Chelseas defence cleared the danger.
Cech, who had preserved Chelseas lead in the first half, was in outstanding form and pulled off another great save to keep out a goal-bound Fabregas free-kick. But as Arsenal overstretched themselves, Chelsea looked for a third. Michael Ballack went close with an angled drive that flashed beyond the far post on the hour, but Cech rescued Chelsea again 11 minutes from time by whipping the ball off the toes of Arsenal substitute Nicklas Bendtner.
