Chelsea slumped to a 3-1 defeat to struggling Arsenal on Boxing Day after an underwhelming showing from the Blues.
Arsenal went ahead courtesy of Alexandre Lacazette scored from the spot after Reece James brought Kieran Tierney down, however minute the contact may have been.
Granit Xhaka made it two, going into the break, with a sublime free-kick after N’Golo Kanté tripped Bukayo Saka following an Arsenal counter-attack.
It was three before the hour mark with Saka getting in on the act himself. After yet another Arsenal counter, the Englishman scooped the ball from just outside the box over Mendy, who was off his line.
A late Tammy Abraham goal redeemed hope for Chelsea, after some brilliant work by Callum Hudson-Odoi out on the right. But his efforst were in after Jorginho missed a late penalty, leaving the Blues in sixth place in the table
