Arsenal cruised to a comprehensive 3-0 win over Chelsea to hand Antonio Conte’sside back-to-back Premier League defeats in the Londonderby at Emirates Stadium.Gunners show title credentials in win over ChelseaA match expected to be a closely contested affair was blown apart in the 11th minute when Alexis Sanchez capitalised on a dreadful error by GaryCahill to open the scoring on his 100th Arsenal outing.Theo Walcott – also reaching a milestone in his 350th game for the Gunners – added a quickfire second, crowning a glorious passing move, and there was further attacking brilliance asthe influential Mesut Ozil made it 3-0 five minutes before half-time.A first league win over the Blues since October 2011 moves Arsene Wenger’s team up to third in the table behind Manchester City and Tottenham, who meetnext weekend, while Conte has work to do as the early stages of his Chelsea reign veeroff course.Former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas made his first league start of the season, on the back of scoring twice in Tuesday’s 4-2 EFL Cup win over Leicester City, but Arsenal swamped their opponents in central areas, while reverting to a back three early in the second period did nothing to restore Chelsea’s poise.They have added a solitary point after three consecutive wins at the start of the campaign and arenow down in eighth, below Crystal Palace on goal difference.Who was your man ofmatch?
