With a little help from Gary Cahill, Arsenal blew Chelsea away in the first half of their match at at the Emirates on Saturday evening.

Didier Drogba, a man who racked up 16 goals in fixtures between the two clubs during his time with Chelsea, had his say on the matter in a post-match tweet to Theo Walcott.
After full-time, Walcott had tweeted a picture of himself celebrating his goal in the match, reminding everyone of the score at the same time.
