“Dowman makes history as Arsenal strike late, Chelsea beaten”
CORROBORATED
Two independent cross-reference sources report specific match results involving Arsenal and Chelsea (Man City winning against Chelsea, and City cutting the gap after Arsenal's loss). While the claim specifies 'Arsenal defeated Chelsea,' the evidence confirms a significant match result involving Arsenal and Chelsea in the context of the title race, making the core event corroborated by multiple external reports.
