Arsenal look to close the gap on second-placed Chelsea with a victory over Stoke City in their Premier League clash at the Britannia Stadium.

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).

The final whistle goes and Stoke go into the FA Cup final on the back of a fully deserved win. Arsenal will now be looking over their shoulders at fourth-placed Manchester City.

Bendtner has a decent effort saved well by Begovic, but the whistle had already blown for a handball against the big Dane.

There will be four minutes of added time.

Arsenal continuing to plug away in search of another goal, but Stoke are more than happy to sit back and repel whatever is thrown at them.

Arsenal have been kept from scoring a single goal in only two away matches this season: at Chelsea and at Manchester United. (Infostrada)

Stoke substitution: Salif Diao replaces Jones.

Well, that sums up Arsenal perfectly. Van Persie has been excellent and scores his 20th goal of 2011, but then more defensive calamity sees them concede another goal barely a minute later.

GOAL!! Stoke score again! Djourou blocks a shot but he steers it right intot he path of Walters, who finishes low past Szczesny to restore Stoke's two-goal lead! Incredible!

GOAL!! Van Persie drills a low strike underneath Begovic to get the Gunners on the scoresheet. He made that all by himself.

Arsenal substitution: Tomas Rosicky comes on for the Gunners.

Word from the Stoke dressing room is that they are optimistic Robert Huth will recover from injury in time for the FA Cup final.

Szczesny drops the ball after being barged into by Shawcross. If it was the 1920s, that would have been fine, but not today.

Whelan hits a shot on the turn after being played down the right channel that forces a decent stop at the near post from Szczensy. Corner to Stoke.

Wilshere floats a ball to the far post for Sagna, who cannot control and Begovic gathers comfortably.

Two corners in quick succession for Arsenal, but they cant work a chance from either of them.

Van Persie is slipped in right in front of goal... he must score... SAVED BY ASMIR BEGOVIC! A great close-range save from the keeper, but Van Perise should have done better.

Stoke substitution: Danny Pugh replaces Pennant.

Wilshere and Pennant both get bookings. Wilkinson gets away with it. Stoke can eventually take their free-kick, which results in a goal kick.

Two bad tackles go flying inm, one from each side. Wilshere flies in on Pennant and Wilkinson retaliates on the Arsenal man. There is more pushing and shoving between the two teams. The referee consults his linesman, who was much closer to the incident.
