Arsenal Back on Top After 5-0 Thrashing of Chelsea
Gunners Regain Premier League Lead
White and Havertz Shine with Historic Braces
Arsenal stormed to the top of the Premier League table with a resounding 5-0 victory over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners went on a goal-scoring spree in the first half, leaving Chelsea shell-shocked and unable to recover.
Ben White opened the scoring for Arsenal with a stunning header from a corner kick. Just minutes later, Chelsea's Kai Havertz equalized with a spectacular long-range shot. However, Arsenal regained control before the break, as White scored his second of the game, followed by a brace from Havertz.
Arsenal continued to dominate in the second half, with substitute Gabriel Martinelli adding a fifth goal to seal the emphatic victory. The Gunners now have a three-point lead at the summit of the table, putting them in pole position for the Premier League title.
White's two goals marked a significant achievement for the defender, making him the first Arsenal player since Patrick Vieira in 2001 to score two goals in a single match against Chelsea. Havertz's brace was equally impressive, making him the first Chelsea player to score twice against Arsenal in the Premier League since Diego Costa in 2017.
The victory was a statement of intent from Arsenal, who have now won their last three Premier League games. The Gunners face their next challenge on Saturday, as they travel to the Vitality Stadium to take on Bournemouth.
