LONDON -- What should embarrass Chelsea most is Arsenal are everything that they are not. Tuesday's 5-0 thrashing at Emirates Stadium showcased the Gunners' shrewd spending and stylish structure, a combination which threatens to push Manchester City the distance in the Premier League title race.
Mikel Arteta's side have played two games more but they are now four points clear of third-placed City with Liverpool sandwiched in the middle, at least until City visit Brighton on Thursday. The Gunners can still dream.
For Chelsea, the nightmare is real.
