As they gladly close out what has been a disastrous season both on and off the pitch, Chelsea seem to be saving the worst until last after one of their most spineless and calamitous displays yet against Arsenal on Tuesday night.
It took the Gunners just 34 minutes to wipe out Frank Lampard's sorry side at the Emirates, with most visiting supporters heading for the exits long before the half-time whistle after watching their team fall three goals behind.
While they did manage to pull a goal back after the break, Noni Madueke's strike was not enough to spark a miraculous comeback and Chelsea instead slumped to a sixth defeat in six under floundering caretaker boss Lampard.
