The match, held at the Emirates, showcased the exceptional form of Arsenal's players, including standout performances from Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice.

The game began with an early goal from Arsenal, which proved to be a turning point for Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea's manager, expressed disappointment with his team's lack of energy and poor performance. Pochettino acknowledged that the game was effectively lost within the first 15 minutes of each half. He emphasized the need for his team to make changes if they hope to secure a spot in Europe next season.

On the other hand, Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, highlighting their consistent attacking prowess and solid defensive play. Arteta credited the players' discipline in the second half as a key factor in the victory. Despite the emphatic win, Arteta remained focused and acknowledged the upcoming challenge of facing Tottenham Hotspur in their next match.

Leandro Trossard, who played a significant role in Arsenal's success, praised the team's ability to convert chances into goals and achieve a clean sheet. He described the night as perfect and emphasized the importance of winning games to achieve their goals.

The victory not only secured Arsenal's biggest win over Chelsea in history, surpassing the 5-1 victory by Herbert Chapman's team in 1930, but it also sent a strong message to their title rivals. With this exceptional performance, Arsenal emerged as serious contenders for the league title, challenging Liverpool and Manchester City to match their level of play.

As the match neared its conclusion, Arsenal had an opportunity to equal Chelsea's worst-ever Premier League defeat when Gabriel Martinelli had a chance to score the sixth goal, but his shot was saved. Nevertheless, Arsenal's control of the game was evident as they allowed Chelsea to stroke the ball around, undoubtedly demoralizing their opponents.

The victory celebration was evident among Arsenal's fans, who recognized the outstanding performances of players like Martin Odegaard. Odegaard was widely considered the player of the match and received praise from Ally McCoist on TNT Sports.

Arsenal's momentous win places them three points clear at the top of the Premier League - a statement that they are a force to be reckoned with this season. The gauntlet has been thrown down to Liverpool and Manchester City, and on this evidence, it suggests that Arsenal will be a difficult team to beat.

The next challenge for Arsenal will be a tough encounter against Tottenham Hotspur, with both teams eager to claim bragging rights in the North London Derby. However, with their strong performance against Chelsea, Arsenal has every reason to believe in their abilities and continue their pursuit of the Premier League title.
