Arsène Wenger's 1,000th game in charge of Arsenal FC ended in the joint-biggest losing margin of that reign as they fell 6-0 at Chelsea FC.
Within seven minutes Samuel Eto'o and André Schürrle had put the UEFA Champions League quarter-finalists two up and any hopes Wenger had of a first win against a José Mourinho-managed Chelsea faded further when Kieran Gibbs was sent off and Eden Hazard converted a penalty.
Oscar made it four before half-time and added another on 66 minutes before Mohamed Salah opened his Chelsea account by making the margin six, the same as Wenger's record 8-2 loss at Manchester United FC in August 2011 and bigger than any previous Blues win under Mourinho.
The result leaves Chelsea seven points clear of Arsenal and Liverpool FC, who now visit Cardiff City FC, while Manchester City FC, two further back, welcome Fulham FC. The late game sends Manchester United FC, shorn of injured Robin van Persie, to West Ham United FC.
