Another London derby and another Premier League treat was served up to those watching on Wednesday night.

Arsenal and Chelsea played out an enthralling 2-2 draw in the north of the English capital as they continue to battle it out for a place in the top four.

It looked as if Chelsea were going to leave the Emirates with a win after Marcos Alonso's 84th minute strike, but Hector Bellerin's dramatic injury-time equaliser salvaged a point for the hosts.

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal have the best record in London derbies in Premier League history

The result sees third-placed Chelsea (46) remain seven points clear of sixth-placed Arsenal (39) in this season's standings, but the latter leads the way when it comes to London derbies.

In the Premier League era, no side has collected more points than Arsenal from London derbies.

The Gunners have played 235 games in the top flight against their city rivals, collecting 425 points from 120 wins and 65 draws alongside 50 defeats.

Wednesday's draw keeps them ahead of Chelsea in this unique table. The Blues, who have also played 235 games, have 422 points from 119 victories and 65 draws alongside 51 losses.

If Chelsea had won by a two-goal margin they would've been ahead of Arsenal in this table on goal difference. At present Arsenal's is +158 (having scored 392 goals and conceded 234), while Chelsea's is +157 (having scored 387 goals and conceded 230).

Tottenham are the third-best London derby team in the Premier League era with 308 points as a result of 79 wins, 71 draws and 84 defeats from 234 games.

West Ham are fourth with 229 points due to 62 victories, 43 draws and 93 losses from 198 games.

Coincidentally those two teams play on Thursday night in what is bound to be a crackling atmosphere at Tottenham's temporary home of Wembley.

Fulham (fifth - 107 points from 118 games), Wimbledon (sixth - 91 points from 78 games), Charlton Athletic (seventh - 84 points from 76 games), Crystal Palace (eighth - 76 points from 82 points) and Queens Park Rangers (ninth - 71 points from 70 points) round out the table.

While Arsenal can boast their London derby supremacy in the top flight circa 1992-93, they can also proudly declare themselves as the most successful team from London in terms of all-time results during this period.
