HALF-TIME: Chelsea 4-0 Arsenal. The Gunners have, quite simply, meekly
surrendered to their fellow title challengers and that woeful showing in
the opening period must surely spell the end of their title challenge.
It looked ominious as soon as Eto'o scored after five minutes. Schurrle
added a second just two minutes later before Oxlade-Chamberlain handled
on the line. Gibbs was strangely the man to be given his marching orders
but Hazard didn't care, stroking home from the spot for the third
before Oscar grabbed a fourth. Wenger's 1000th game has been a
chastening experience so far.
