Ruthless Gunners Put the Blues to the Sword in Dominant Display

Match Highlights and Analysis

Arsenal turned in a dominant performance to thrash Chelsea 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, moving three points clear at the top of the Premier League table. The Gunners, who had lost their last home game 2-0 against Aston Villa, were in no mood to slip up again and put in a ruthless display against Graham Potter's side.

Arsenal took the lead through Gabriel Magalhaes' header in the ninth minute, and Bukayo Saka doubled their advantage just before half-time. The Gunners continued to dominate after the break, with Eddie Nketiah making it 3-0 in the 55th minute. Granit Xhaka made it 4-0 with a stunning long-range strike, and Nketiah completed the rout with his second goal in the 90th minute.
