Arsenal responded decisively to any remaining doubts about their ability to remain in the competition, as Leandro Trossard gave them an early lead, before Ben White and Kai Havertz scored two goals each in an impressive period of the match at the beginning of the second half to sweep away a stunned Chelsea.
This constituted a strong message from Arsenal, which had recovered admirably from a home defeat by Aston Villa and exit from the Champions League, increasing the pressure on Liverpool and Manchester City with four matches remaining.
Arsenal has 77 points from 34 matches, while Liverpool, which will face Everton tomorrow, Wednesday, has 74 points from 33 matches.
Manchester City, the defending champion, has 73 points, but has two postponed matches, starting with facing Brighton & Hove Albion next Thursday.
