Instead, the £105m Emirates lure proved too much last summer.Ironically, Arsenal made desperate attempts to sign Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo in the past 18 months before they ended up at Stamford Bridge for a combined £182m.You wonder what Chelsea actually paid for with that duo, especially Ukrainian winger Mudryk, who made it clear last night that tracking back simply is not for him.Bukayo Saka was running rampant down the right with Ben White on the overlap, leaving Marc Cucurella chasing shadows. Mudryk did not look overly bothered.VAR then incredibly chose not to check a horrific studs-up challenge from Nicolas Jackson into the shin of Tomiyasu. Ref Simon Hooper also chose not to act.With Chelsea’s hot-heads losing their cool, Arsenal were picking up chances easier than at an Emirates box buffet.Havertz latched onto a defensive mistake but opted to pass instead of shoot.

Having wasted a few early chances, White begun the hammering in the 52nd minute, curling in from close range from a badly defended corner.Martin Odegaard’s defence-splitting pass put Havertz in five minutes later and this time the German did not disappoint. He got his second in the 67th minute, in off the post having drifted into the box with complete ease.To top it all off, White – who had two Prem goals this season before tonight – grabbed a spectacular second in the 70th minute, volleying a chipped Odegaard pass into the top corner.The Englishman produced a cheeky grin, embarrassed it managed to go in.READ MORE SUN STORIESDon’t worry Ben, you weren’t the only one embarrassed at the Emirates last night.Pochettino will be hanging his head in shame and disbelief.Chelsea suffered their heaviest defeat under Mauricio PochettinoCredit: EPA More

    Arsenal wiped away the April blues with a centurion display to keep their title charge at full throttle.
    Leandro Trossard netted the Gunners’ 100th goal of the season, followed by a Ben White and Kai Havertz double in a rampant second-half blitz to get them back on track after a few bumps in the road this month.
    The league loss here to Aston Villa 10 days ago and a Champions League quarter-final exit to Bayern Munich have been forgotten. All roads now lead to an epic three-way title race.
    Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino was left feeling blue yet again – perhaps regretting suggesting in the build-up that his Chelsea side are NOT Cole Palmer FC.
    Without their clinical 20-goal Premier League superstar Palmer to produce moments of magic, the West Londoners were torn apart by an Arsenal outfit smelling blood at the Prem summit.
    Four points clear of Manchester City in third. Three points clear of Liverpool in second. A goal difference of +55 that is 11 better than City and 12 better than Liverpool.

    Leandro Trossard got the scoring started early in this one.
    And he says his side are on track for a big end to the season but can only focus on their own job.
    He told TNT Sports: “I think the early goal helped us and after that we played so well. We had a lot of chances and we turned them into goals. It’s a great night.
    “They say clean sheets help you win games. We know if we score the goal we can win 1-0. But, obviously, we want to go for more. Today is the perfect night. I think everyone works so well and hard. I am really happy to be here.
    “We can only do our own job and that’s winning games. We are on track now and we will try and win the rest of the games and we will see what happens.”

    Mauricio Pochettino says his team weren’t clinical enough and admitted watching the performance was ‘not nice’.
    He told TNT Sports: “I think we started the game not so well. We concede the goal and then it was difficult for us to recover from this goal. I think in the first half we compete after 10, 15 minutes.
    “We could not approach the game like we started in the first half and we didn’t compete the way we needed to compete and then when they scored the third it was easy for Arsenal to control the game.
    “I think you need to be clinical. Like against Manchester City three days ago, we were not clinical and then today the same thing happened. D
    “Difficult performance because it is not nice to see your team play like this when you are mean to have full energy. After three days when you play a fantastic game against Manchester City, today we are disappointed with the performance.”

    Mikel Arteta says his side will enjoy the win tonight but then it’s straight back to focus on a crunch North London derby at the weekend.
    He added: “It is a big London derby and we know what it means for the fans. We will enjoy it and rest and get ready for the next one.
    “What I would like is that the players can manage themselves in the dressing room. You have to leave them some space. They know what they are playing for. That’s what holds the team together. My role is to demand them and also in the right moments make them believe they can do it.
    “We have a lot of games coming up. Let’s enjoy tonight and let’s go back to work.”
    Copy linkCopiedArteta speaks
    Mikel Arteta admitted his side weren’t disciplined enough in their first half showing but a half time talk sorted that out.
    He was also full of praise for his captain Martin Odegaard.
    He told TNT Sports, per the BBC: “Very happy with the win, with the amount of chances and goals we scored. And with the clean sheet as well it shows the consistency.
    “We weren’t disciplined enough with some stuff we did in the first half and we needed to be more disciplined and we did that in the second half.
    “We agreed Odegaard was a player with huge talent and he could grow with us. We were convinced he could add something special to the team.
    “That’s always a question: How are you going to handle a different role? He has done it so naturally and he is loved by everyone. With the love that he has, it is enough for everyone to want to follow him.”

    Ben White says he’ll let everyone else decide whether or not he meant his second goal.
    He told TNT Sports: “We know we can score goals and today it was a quick game and it was important to put the ball away when we had the chance.”
    On his second goal and whether he meant it, he added: “I don’t know. I’ll let everyone else decide!

    It was actually a decent contest in the first half too.

    Chelsea’s midfield two costing a quarter of a billion pound? Give me a break.

    What a goal that would have been!

    Rice opens his body up and curls an effort which cracks off the far post and back into play. Odegaard’s shot at goal is blocked before the offside flag goes up.
