Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to three points following a comprehensive 5-0 home victory against Chelsea. Leandro Trossard’s early goal gave the Gunners a first-half advantage, and despite Chelsea’s resilience in keeping the scoreline down at halftime, Arsenal exploded in the second half, with Ben White and Kai Havertz both scoring twice to seal an emphatic victory.
White’s first goal came from a poacher’s finish following a corner, and he later added a second with a well-taken volley. Havertz, making his return to the Emirates Stadium for the first time since leaving Arsenal in 2022, netted a brace of his own, punishing his former club after a quiet first half. Bukayo Saka also played a key role for Arsenal, assisting their fourth goal and proving too much to handle for Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella.
The victory means Arsenal now hold a three-point cushion over Liverpool, who play Everton on Wednesday, and a four-point advantage over Manchester City. The Gunners’ next match is a crucial north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur, while Chelsea will look to bounce back when they welcome Southampton to Stamford Bridge.
