Ben White also scored twice as he made it 5-0 with a phenomenal shot inside the penalty area that looked like a pass but ended up in Chelsea’s net.

The Gunners’ next match in the Premier League will be on Sunday – another London derby against Spurs at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Arsenal's 5-0 victory against Chelsea is their biggest ever win over the Blues across any competition in their history.
