Arsenal Thrash Chelsea 5-0 to Extend Premier League Lead
Blues Suffer Heaviest Defeat in London Derby
In a stunning performance, Arsenal recorded their biggest-ever victory against Chelsea across all competitions, handing the Blues their heaviest defeat in a London derby. The Gunners extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to three points with their emphatic 5-0 triumph at the Emirates Stadium.
Leandro Trossard opened the scoring for Arsenal in the 17th minute, with Ben White doubling their advantage just six minutes later. Gabriel Martinelli netted the third goal in the 25th minute, putting the hosts firmly in control.
Kai Havertz pulled one back for Chelsea in the 69th minute, but Arsenal restored their three-goal lead through Bukayo Saka in the 77th minute. Emile Smith Rowe sealed the victory with a goal in the 90th minute, completing the rout.
The win was Arsenal's 11th of their last 13 Premier League matches, continuing their impressive form under Mikel Arteta. Chelsea, on the other hand, have now lost three of their last five league games and are languishing in 10th place in the standings.
Arsenal's victory was particularly notable given their recent history against Chelsea. The Blues had won three of their last four meetings with the Gunners, including the 2021 Champions League final. However, Arsenal showed their dominance on this occasion, putting Chelsea to the sword with a ruthless display of attacking prowess.
