Arsenal thrashed Chelsea 5-0 on Tuesday night to get their Premier League title hopes back on track.

The Gunners, fresh from their morale-boosting win over Wolves at the weekend, were hoping to make it two wins in a row against their west London rivals.

Mikel Arteta’s charges went on to absolutely demolish the Blues, with Kai Havertz scoring twice against his former club.

Ben White also registered a brace, both players netting after Leandro Trossard had opened the scoring in north London in the fourth minute.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright liked what he saw from the Gunners and was certainly pleased at the final whistle.

What did Ian Wright say about Arsenal win over Chelsea?

Wright told Premier League Productions: “I’m pleased in the ruthless nature in which Arsenal went and won this, because that’s what you should do at this stage of the season.

“Chelsea were missing their best player but they weren’t good enough in the end and Arsenal were able to sweep them.”

What a night it was for the Gunners, who fully rubber-stamped their title credentials in wake of a difficult week earlier this month.

After losing to Aston Villa and Bayern Munich, confidence dropped a little, but the solid win over Wolves followed by the hammering of Chelsea has got Arsenal bouncing again.

You couldn’t ask for a bigger confidence boost ahead of the north London derby, which takes place this Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
