Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea
by Layth Yousif 

ARSENAL thrashed an underwhelming Chelsea side to consolidate top spot in the Premier League on a raucous evening in north London.

Mikel Arteta’s rampant Gunners routed the Blues to move three points clear of second-place Liverpool, and four points clear of Manchester City in third place, albeit having played a game, and two games more respectively.

An early strike from Leandro Trossard settled any opening nerves, before Ben White made it 2-0 after the break — prior to a brace from Kai Havertz making it a rout for Arsenal over their London rivals on a joyous evening in N5. White then grabbed a second to make it 5-0 on 70 minutes as Arsenal savoured being top dogs in the capital once more.
