FA PREMIERLEAGUE 

ARSENAL 5 (Trossard 4, White 52 70, Havertz 57 65)

CHELSEA 0

HAHHAHAHAHAHAA.

Hahahahaha.

Ha. Ha. HA!

Arsenal completely destroyed Chelsea in their greatest-ever victory over their downmarket rivals in west London.

The Gunners smashed in five – it could have 10 – in a wonderfully stylish performance that was played out to a carnival atmosphere.

Now it’s all eyes on The Seagulls on Thursday night in one of the last real hopes that seasoned winners Man City will slip-up against Brighton.

Whatever happens at the end of the season, Arteta’s Arsenal have dished out some sumptuous treats for the fans.

There have been sensational home wins over United, City, Liverpool – and now this memorable defeat of Chelsea.

This weekend could see a rare April St Totteringham’s Day.

Martin Odegaard was once again the best player on the park, driving on the team, starting the presses and playing pinpoint accurate passes.

Arsenal’s Mr Reliable Leandro Trossard buried the first chance of the match after being slotted in by Declan Rice.

Keeper Djordje Petrovic should have not have been beaten at his near post but the shot was hit with ferocity.

It looked like a long night ahead for him and the Chelsea defence as a whole, but the visitors rallied and had a great chance to level it up.

Marc Cucurella had a great chance but took too long to get his shot away and Enzo Fernandez passed the rebound just wide of the post.

Despite Arsenal racking up the chances, the match was in the balance at half time with the score stuck at 1-0.

But they came out in the second like a team possessed, and Chelsea capitulated.

Ben White calmly passed in after Declan Rice’s goalbound shot was prodded into his path by Thomas Partey.

Minutes later, Kai Havertz lifted his shot over Petrovic after shielding the ball well while running in on goal.

He had been sent in by a superb sweeping through ball from the masterful Odegaard.

The former Chelsea man Havertz had for the first half stumbled about while looking out of confidence in front of goal.

He had spurned three very good chances and at one point tripped himself up while through on goal.

But minutes after his first he banged in his second – this time giving Petrovic the eyes and wrong footing the defenders with a clipped reverse shot that went  in off the post.

Odegaard held his head in his hands in disbelief after White volleyed in another one of his sublime passes.

White’s goal – shades of Van Basten for Holland in 1989 – was arguably a cross that would have been met by two Arsenal players loitering at the back post.

The goal made it five with 20 mins to play – a total nightmare for Chelsea fans who had come to the stadium with tin foil Champions League trophies.

There were two fans left at the end still waving their tin foil cups at the Arsenal fans.

Fair play to them, clinging on to the past like Arsenal fans have been for so many years with the Invincibles.

But long gone are the days of Philippe Senderos getting bulldozed about by Didier Drogba and Mourinho having the upper hand over Wenger.

This Chelsea team have no fear factor, admittedly without their best player Cole Palmer.

Nicolas Jackson – a trier – missed a sitter but really provided no threat on the break.

He was easy meat for Saliba and Gabriel, once against super reliable in central defence.

There was a shocking potentially ankle breaking tackle on Tomiyasu by Jackson that somehow was missed by the ref and VAR.

Arsenal are four points clear of City, who have two games in hand, and three ahead of Liverpool who are away to Everton tomorrow (Wednesday).
