Arsenal cruised to a comprehensive 3-0 win over Chelsea as the Blues lose back-to-back EPL

Mesut Ozil’s goal to round-up the scoring in first-half

It could’ve been more, but the gods of soccer said let it be so as the Gunners shot 3 pass Chelsea in the first 45th minutes of play to hand Antonio Conte’s Blue a back-to-back English Premier League, EPL defeats in the London derby at Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger before knew a win could end his rivalry against Chelsea in style as they are closed to reach their 20th anniversary on their next outing. And the Frenchman’s formation was superior with the skillfulness of his players being at the peak as they sealed a historic victory.

It’s not good one for one set of fans, but not for the other as the game could’ve ended with more goals in favour of Arsenal.

While Mesut Ozil’s fantasy created more chance, Gary Cahill on the other side could’ve wished for a replay as the England international in the 11th minute handed Alexis Sanchez with a big chance and the Chilean capitalised on a the dreadful error to open the scoring on his 100th Arsenal outing.

Theo Walcott – also reaching a milestone in his 350th game for the Gunners – added a quickfire second, crowning a glorious passing move between Santi Cazorla, Ozil, Alex Iwobi and Bellarin to tap home from close range.

And there was further attacking brilliance as the influential Mesut Ozil nick past N’golo Kante before a sleek pass to Sanchez who chipped it back for the German to slot home a remarkable one time strike to make it 3-0 five minutes before half-time.

A first league win over the Blues since October 2011 moves Arsene Wenger’s team up to third in the table behind Manchester City and Tottenham, who meet next weekend, while Conte has work to do as the early stages of his Chelsea reign veer off course.
