  • Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea

    77. During the pause in play, Chelsea make a couple of changes, Including bringing on Thiago Silva, who absolutely should have started this game.

    • OFF: Madueke & Gilchrist
    • ON: Casadei & T. Silva
  • Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea

    76. Ben White is shown a YELLOW CARD for a late challenge on Cucurella. That had been boiling a little.

    Gabriel goes to ground off the ball and requires some treatment.

  • Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea

    75. One young Chelsea fan holds a sign up in the away end.

    "I don't want your shirt. I want you to want to fight for ours."

    Almost like he pre-empted this total collapse.

  • Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea

    72. A quadruple change for Arsenal for the final 20 minutes:

    • OFF: Trossard, Havertz, Partey & Tomiyasu
    • ON: Martinelli, Jesus, Jorginho & Zinchenko
  • Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea

    70. Yikes. This one might be a touch fortunate but Chelsea only have themselves to blame.

    Odegaard with a stunning chipped ball over the top of the Chelsea back line who are all ball watching.

    Ben White makes the run in behind and side-foots the ball looking for one of his three teammates steaming in towards goal.

    He doesn't catch it as he'd like and his side-footed skew ends up looping into the far corner. His celebration shows he didn't quite mean that one.

    But he - nor the Arsenal fans - care one bit.

  • GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!

    FIVE STAR ARSENAL HAVE ANOTHER - AND IT'S WHITE AGAIN!

  • Arsenal 4-0 Chelsea

    68. Sterling with a chance immediately when Chelsea awarded a free kick 25 yards from goal.

    He gets it over the wall but it's weak as anything and straight down the middle of the goal - Raya could've controlled it.

  • Arsenal 4-0 Chelsea

    66. That goal coming just a couple of minutes after that Jackson sitter too.

    Chelsea make a double change:

    • OFF: Mudryk & Enzo
    • ON: Sterling & Chalobah
  • Arsenal 4-0 Chelsea

    66. Another good Arsenal goal but dearie me. This defending is worrying.

    Saka receives a pass from Partey wide on the right. You know he's only dangerous when coming inside but the Blues defence allow him to do so.

    He picks out Havertz with a good square pass 16 yards from goal. He's allowed to let the ball run across his body and he reverses a shot across goal and in off the post.

  • GOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!!

    4-0 - Havertz again!

  • Stats on the hour

    Another nine shots added in the second half.

  • Arsenal 3-0 Chelsea

    JACKSON HAS TO SCORE!

    61. It's another sitter for the Chelsea striker. This one as bad as any he had at the weekend.

    He's free, unchallenged slightly on the angle to the right of goal.

    He only has to pass it into the net across Raya, instead he passes it into the side netting. It's a shocker, it really is.

  • Arsenal 3-0 Chelsea

    58. VAR checked that foul on Madueke in the build-up to the goal. They deemed it not to be a foul.

    And I'll be honest here. They've had another absolute nightmare there.

    Not a clue what game they're watching....

  • Arsenal 3-0 Chelsea

    57. This could be anything now!

    Madueke loses the ball high up in the Arsenal half and he does look as if he's fouled.

    The referee plays on and the ball is worked to Odegaard on the halfway line, who curls a sensational pass into the path of Havertz who gets in between two defenders.

    One touch to take it into his path, the next he smashes high into the roof of the net beyond Petrovic.

    Chelsea all over the place.

  • GOAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

    3-0 AND THREE POINTS TO ARSENAL!

  • Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea

    51. All so, so easy. Chelsea look like they're left in the changing rooms!

    It's taken short to Saka who in turn finds Rice on the edge of the box in acres of room. He drags a poor shot but it takes a bounce off the bodies grouped on the six-yard box.

    It kicks right to Ben White to was following in and he curls a composed left footed strike into the corner.

    Cushion for the Gunners. Chelsea need to wake up pretty quickly here.

  • GOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!

    BEN WHITE MAKES IT 2-0!

  • Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea

    CLOSE!

    51. Odegaard with a sensational reverse pass towards goal and Havertz keeps himself onside.

    The angle is quite tight but his right-footed effort is closed down and saved by the legs of Petrovic and bounces wide. Corner Arsenal.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea

    50. Odegaard's shot from distance goes well over.

    Arteta waves his arms to get the crowd going louder. They've started this half well.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea

    48. Big chance for 2-0!

    Rice nicks the ball inside the Chelsea half and they're 3v2 running at the Chelsea box. Odegaard lays it back into Rice's path on the right and he fires a low shot at goal.

    Petrovic parries it awkwardly before clearing with his foot when on the ground. Cucurella helps him to clear it from danger.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea

    47. Easily cleared by the Arsenal defence.

  • Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea

    46. Chelsea with an early free kick as Jackson caught late when the Blues looked to counter.

    The big men are up from the back.

  • Back underway

    The Gunners get a huge second half underway!

  • The players returning

    The Chelsea players making Arsenal wait as they go into a pre-second half huddle.

    The Gunners to get us underway.

  • Ouch...

    Confirmed at half time that this was checked and cleared by VAR.

    It was bad enough the referee missed it and didn't think it was a yellow. VAR thinking it's OK? Hmmm.

    Mikel Arteta's words later will be interesting if Arsenal drop points in the end.
