Arsenal Vs Chelsea: Winners And Losers From A Bludgeoning At The Emirates

Arsenal Vs Chelsea is one of the most reliably entertaining fixtures on the Premier League calendar, and whether it's Diego Costa treachery or Arsenal defensive madness, the rivalry rarely disappoints. Tonight was no different as Arsenal blitzed Chelsea with a result that might keep in Arsene Wenger in situ for another two decades.

WINNERS

Arsene Wenger - Given the teeth-gnashing of Arsenal fans in August, Wenger will be feeling pretty smug about things as he has a glass of burgundy and looks back on 20 years in charge of Arsenal tonight. Chelsea and Diego Costa have been a thorn in his side these last three seasons, but all of that voodoo was exorcised this evening. Arsenal fans will start tricking themselves into title dreams tonight.

Theo Walcott - Whisper it but Theo Walcott is Arsenal's best player this season. He's bulkier, full of industry, playing in his best position and now a vital cog in the Arsenal machine. He's playing his best football since he got injured against Spurs in late 2013. Hopefully for his sake, good form continues.

Hector Bellerin - Exquisite assist on Walcott's opener. Displayed Boltian speed to stop Pedro in the second half. Decent day's work.

LOSERS

Gary Cahill - Woefully caught out for Arsenal's first goal, when a brainfart gifted Sanchez with Arsenal's opener, and consistently terrible for the entire 90 minutes. With David Luiz beside him, the pair form comedy's finest duo since Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock in 'Heat'.

Recommended

Antonio Conte- What the hell was that from Conte? Chelsea were a consensus smart-guy pick to win the Premier League, but after six weeks of fixtures, Chelsea look in danger of being left behind by the 'Prem's' upper crust: City, Spurs and Liverpool. Genetics tell us that Italians are masters of defence but who should claim accountability for Chelsea's woeful defense - the manager or the shite defenders?

Granit Xhaka - how many worldies does the man need to score before he earns a place in the Arsenal XI? Xhaka was again overlooked by Wenger for Arsenal Vs Chelsea and given the performance of Iwobi, Walcott, Ozil et al, it's hard to know how he'll crack the Arsenal team without an injury
