Goals from Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz (2) and Ben White (2) saw Arsenal to a comfortable 5-0 win against Chelsea at the Emirates in the Premier League. The win opens up a three-point lead for Mikel Arteta’s Gunners at the top of the table. Arsenal are on 77 points, Liverpool 74 and Manchester City are on 73. The Gunners have played one more game than Liverpool and two more than City.
Arsenal strengthened their position at the top of the table as they routed Chelsea 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium in a Tuesday-night thrashing in north London.
Leandro Trossard scored early to put Arsenal on their way, but chances went begging at both ends in the remainder of a high-class first-half.
However goals flowed for the Gunners after the break, with ex-Chelsea man Kai Havertz scoring twice for the league leaders to help blow the Blues away.
A brace for Ben White saw Arsenal rack up the score, further adding to their goal difference advantage over title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City, and it could easily have been more had Gabriel Martinelli and Fabio Vieira converted late chances.
A disillusioned Chelsea will lick their wounds, while Arsenal can now look ahead to their remaining four games in the run-in.
