Arsenal keeper Szczesny: Brilliant Chelsea title favourites

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny rates Chelsea as title favourites. Szczesny has admitted Arsenal were beaten by the "brilliance" of Chelsea in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Arsenal.

"I thought it was a very even game but Chelsea have an ability to keep clean sheets at home and I thought they were very good, they took their chances with two brilliant moments," Szczesny told reporters.

"One, the brilliant run from [Eden] Hazard that led to the penalty. On the second goal, the ball from Cesc [Fabregas] and the finish. Sometimes you've got to take your hat off to the brilliance of the opposition.

"You can't say we've played badly against Chelsea, it's just that we've come up against a very strong side, probably the favourites to win the Premier League at this point."
