Robin van Persie scored from the spot on his first return to the Emirates Stadium since joining rivals Manchester United as Arsenal suffered a setback in their bid to secure a top-four spot.

Chelsea’s win over Swansea on Sunday saw the Blues leapfrog a point ahead of the Gunners and into third, with Tottenham two points behind in fifth.

Arsenal took the lead after just two minutes when Theo Walcott fired in low.
