PLAYER RATINGS: Four Chelsea stars score just 3.5/10 in woeful 5-0 defeat
Arsenal put on one of their best showings of the season with a 5-0 thrashing of London rivals Chelsea at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
Kai Havertz haunted his former side by scoring a brace, with Ben White also bagging a pair of goals, while Leandro Trossard opened the scoring.
While the title race is still in Manchester City's hands, Mikel Arteta's side sent a message to Pep Guardiola's men and Liverpool with an impressive showing.
