Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea: Mourinho's men edge closer to title with Emirates stalemate


The Blues are now six points away from Premier League glory after a match full of controversial refereeing calls, with the Portuguese's record against Arsene Wenger intact.Leaders Chelsea and title rivals Arsenal played out a feisty goalless Premier League draw at the Emirates Stadium, with much of the discussion centring on four penalty shouts all turned down.

The most prominent involved David Ospina's clumsy first-half collision with Oscar in a keenly contested stalemate that saw Cesc Fabregas booed on his return to his former club and Jose Mourinho maintain his unbeaten record against Arsene Wenger.With Diego Costa and Loic Remy injured, Oscar began as the figurehead of Chelsea's attack and was central to the game's biggest talking point as he nodded a header past the onrushing David Ospina.However, the Brazilian was poleaxed by the Arsenal goalkeeper and, after the effort was cleared away by Hector Bellerin, Chelsea's frustrations were clear as referee Michael Oliver opted against awarding a spot kick and brandishing a possible red card.
