Three Stars of the Match: Arsenal 3-0 Chelsea

It was a beautiful way for Arsenal to turn the tables on Saturday by dismantling a Chelsea team that the Gunners have not been able to overcome in what seems like centuries!

Arsenal took the lead a little after 10 minutes thanks to a Gary Cahill error and the hosts never looked back.

Early goals from Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott got the fans excited, but they were not totally at peace until Mesut Özil scored the last goal of the match in the second half.

There really were no qualms with the Gunners’ performance against Antonio Conte’s Blues, other than a miscommunication from Shkodran Mustafi and Laurent Koscielny that led to Hector Bellerin needing to us his pace to chase down the ball before it got to Petr Cech.

Other than that, basically the whole team had a great game, but let’s take a look at the three best players in the match from Saturday.

matchday.
