LONDON (AP) — Arsenal earned its biggest win ever over Chelsea as Kai Havertz scored twice against his former team in a 5-0 rout on Tuesday that solidified the Gunners’ place atop the Premier League standings. Ben White also got a second-half double against a dismal Chelsea team that collapsed after the break and saw most of the away fans leave Emirates Stadium well before the final whistle. “It’s a great night,” said Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard, who opened the scoring in the fourth minute. “The early goal helped us and after that we played so well. We had a lot of chances and we turned them into goals.” The win ensures Arsenal will go into the weekend with the league lead. Mikel Arteta’s team is three points in front of Liverpool ahead of Wednesday’s Merseyside derby at Everton. Manchester City is four points back before it plays at Brighton on Thursday, with another game in hand. |
