Play by play
- 92'
That's that and Chelsea record their biggest away win at Arsenal for 40 years. Arsenal complete a week to forget with another home thumping, while the Blues have all but wrapped up third spot in the league and automatic qualification for the Champions League group stages. Bye for now.
- 90'
Two minutes added.
- 89'
What a way for Chelsea to bounce back from the disappointment of Barcelona. Arsenal's misery continues.
- 87'
Arsenal can't believe it and thousands of fans head for the exits. Ballack, the original ref harasser, is on for Malouda.
- 86'
Malouda is put through by Lampard and Fabianski saves his first effort, then Anelka's follow-up hits the post and falls at the feet of Malouda who makes no mistake.
- 86'
GOAL! Malouda!
- 85'
Adebayor goes through and beats Cech to the ball, but the ref denies Arsenal a penalty, largely because there was no contact.
- 83'
A right old scramble in the area as Toure crosses, then Cech saves from Silvestre before Gibbs smashes one over.
- 82'
Bendtner finds Nasri and he cuts in to shoot but Cole blocks behind for a corner.
- 80'
Fabregas swings in a cross this time but Cech claims before Adebayor gets there.
- 78'
Another chance from a Nasri cross, as Van Persie's header is saved by Cech.
- 77'
Chelsea change; Ivanovic for Bosingwa.
- 75'
Adebayor goes down very cheaply inside the area under minimal contact from Bosingwa and Phil Dowd says a curt no.
- 73'
Bendtner meets another Sagna cross but his header was a little weak, if well directed. Cech saves.
- 72'
Lampard smashes a free kick over the bar.
- 71'
Adebayor finds space on the left before Bendtner passes right to Terry. That's more like the Bendtner we know.
- 70'
A decent cross from Sagna, a good leap from Bendtner and a precise header.
- 70'
GOAL! Bendtner!
- 69'
Malouda falls over the ball inside the area as he ran at Toure and Gibbs.
- 68'
Bit of argy bargy between Lampard and Fabregas and the Chelsea man fouled the Arsenal player. A little kick from Fab draws some finger pointing from Lamps and a bit of swearing all round.
- 67'
Denilson and Walcott make way as Adebayor and Song come on. Luke warm receptions for all.
- 66'
Bosingwa has another go and makes a right hash of it.
- 64'
Bosingwa blasts one over as Chelsea broke speedily, Cole's cross found its way to the Portuguese and his half volley was always rising.
- 62'
It really isn't Walcott's day. He goes clear in the right channel again but hesitates too long and Mikel nips back to tidy up.
- 60'
Drogba has a go from 45 yards after spotting Fabianski marginally off his line. It goes wide.
