Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have defeated 9-man Arsenal to end their losing streak in the premier league.
Both sides had few chances in the opening minutes before a dispute with Costa saw Gabriel sent off towards the end of the first half.
Reduced to 10 men, Arsenal found themselves on the back pedal and it was only a matter of time before Chelsea broke the deadlock - defender Zouma putting a header past his former team mate Petr Cech.
Santi Cazorla was later on sent off after a challenge on Fabregas got him his second yellow.
In the last minutes of the game, the ball broke to Eden Hazard on the edge of the area and his shot took a massive deflection off Calum Chambers on its way past Petr Cech, wining Chelsea the precious 3 points.
There was no handshakes between the managers at full-time. Arsene Wenger headed straight down the tunnel, while Jose Mourinho celebrated with his players.
Arsenal remains fourth and Chelsea now sits 10th on the league table - for the moment.
