ARSENAL remain third in the Premier League standings despite winning 3-1 against Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Arsenal now level on points (61) with Chelsea but better goal difference saw the Blues in second spot behind Manchester United who moves up at the top with 63 points when they edge Wolves 1-0.
The Gunners need to score four goals to pip Chelsea for the second spot wasted a hatful of chances with Nicklas Bendtner as the main culprit missing at least three sure goals in the six yard box.
The homeside nearly paid heavy price for the misses but thanks to Theo Walcott and a late goal by Russian's Andre Arshavin to pull them through.
Earlier Arsenal's captain Cesc Fabregas put the homeside into the lead when the Spaniard ran from the blind side to met Samir Nasri's beautiful chip in the 34th minute. But the midfielder was taken out shortly and was replaced by Abou Diaby.
