Thierry Henry scored his 200th goal for the Gunners after Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor had given them the lead. Blues striker Emile Heskey was sent off for two bookings late in the game. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said: "We showed a lot of character in a very difficult game and there were some performances that are very encouraging. We also had a lot of quality and efficiency as well so I am very pleased. You know you are going to get a physical battle with a lot of experience but we handled it well." Sol Campbell, who returned to training on Monday after 'lying low' for four days following a poor display during the 3-2 defeat by West Ham United, has now been ruled out of action or two to three weeks with an ankle injury. Fellow defender Gael Clichy could be back in full training next week after recovering from a broken bone in a foot. Arsenal have already lost twice away to Bolton this season, 2-0 in the Premiership and 1-0 in the FA Cup.
