Arsenal's best and worst players in emphatic win over Chelsea

Arsenal sent a rocket up their Premier League title push with a dominant 5-0 mauling of Chelsea.

The Gunners put on a dominant show at the Emirates, providing a clinical performance to silence Mauricio Pochettino's side. It was a semi-nervy first half for Mikel Arteta's squad, but after securing their second goal, Chelsea proved no threat against the hosts and were beaten into submission.

Here are Arsenal's best and worst players from the game according to 's player ratings.

Ben White looked to be a constant threat against the Blues, making marauding runs up and down the pitch. His efforts enabled him to earn his first senior brace, albeit with luck on his side.

His opening goal fired into the bottom right corner from his left foot, a cultured finish yet uncharacteristic for the right-back.

An element of fortune was on his side for the second, but he still had to be in the right place at the right time to finish it.

Martin Odegaard's performance against Chelsea may have been his best ever in an Arsenal shirt, which speaks volumes as he was unable to carve his name onto the scoresheet.

His turns were almost unfathomable, making him one of the most useful playmakers on the pitch. Odegaard looked to almost tease the Blues, and there was nothing they could do to stop him in his tracks.

It's difficult to pick a worst player when a team wins 5-0, but William Saliba looked slightly nervous in the first half, especially when playing against Nicolas Jackson.

He looked to struggle in the pace battle against the striker, and sometimes gave him too much space in attack, but does anybody care about that?
