Gunners fans were biting their nails after beanpole striker Nikola Zigic steered a looping header into the net to give Blues a shock lead in London.
But Chamakh won a dubious penalty for his side by going down in the penalty box under the slightest of touches from Scott Dann - and it was level terms as Samir Nasri coolly converted the spot-kick.
That was the Bad for the not-too-Ugly Chamakh, who has taken over Cristiano Ronaldo's mantle as the Premier League's pin-up with his funky hairstyle and good looks - but he saved for the Good for the 46th minute, when he latched onto Jack Wilshere's clever throughball, spun on a six pence then waltzed past Ben Foster with sumptuous ease before tapping the ball into the net for a vital victory which keeps their title aspirations alive
