It wasn't only Henry who was shocked by the Arsenal's performance, Jamie Redknapp was also unimpressed by the performance.
"What was a worry for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger was the amount of times that I saw Hazard, Pedro and Costa in the position to counter and Arsenal did nothing," he said.
"This happened time and time again and the frustration for Arsenal was unbelievable."
While the pundits ripped into the Gunners performance they had nothing but praise for Chelsea.
Graham Souness added: "Ver,y very effective, what you expect from this Chelsea team, they don’t have to dominate the ball to win football matches – that’s what champions do.
"Costa wasn’t at his best today so they do win games when they’re not bang at it.
"From Chelsea’s point of view [the first goal is] a super goal.
"Someone not doing his job at a vital, vital time, at this point in the game Arsenal were possibly shading it."
He had this to say on Arsene Wenger's team: "At the start of the game we expressed concern about Coquelin and Oxlade Chamberlain, there’s things you [Coquelin] need to be told as a central midfielder: you don’t flick it; you don’t turn on the ball."
Henry was very impressed with Hazard's goal.
"Hazard’s was a brilliant goal, that’s what you want to see, I think that after the flick he knows what he wants to do. I think he could do that more."
