LONDON, Sept 29 – Premier League leaders Chelsea beat London rivals Arsenal 2-1 with goals from Spaniards Fernando Torres and Juan Mata today to maintain their unbeaten start to the season while handing Arsenal their first defeat.

Both Chelsea goals came as a result of Mata free kicks with Torres benefiting from some poor defending by Laurent Koscielny to volley the European champions ahead at the Emirates Stadium after 20 minutes.

Gervinho equalised for Arsenal three minutes before the break when he turned crisply and fired into the roof of the net for his fourth goal of the season.

Chelsea, who started with John Terry as he mulls an appeal over a four-game ban for racist abuse, regained the lead after 53 minutes when Mata's free kick eluded everyone before clipping Koscielny and flying in past Arsenal keeper Vito Mannone.

The victory lifted Chelsea four points clear at the top, at least until the rest of the programme later today. – Reuters

ALCANIZ, Sept 29 – MotoGP leader Jorge Lorenzo took pole for tomorrow's Aragon Grand Prix by edging out rival and Spanish compatriot Dani Pedrosa in a close-fought battle.

Yamaha's Lorenzo set a fastest lap of one minute 49.404 seconds on home soil as Pedrosa, 38 points behind him in the overall standings in second spot, could only qualify second on his Honda.

Britain's Cal Crutchlow was third quickest with American Ben Spies, also on a Yamaha, managing fourth on the grid having been quickest in yesterday's second practice.

Valentino Rossi's woeful season for Ducati continued as he qualified eighth. – Reuters
