"He was unbelievable" - Mikel Arteta hails two-goal Arsenal hero after Chelsea win

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta described one of his two-goal heroes as «unbelievable» in the Gunners' 5-0 pummelling of London rivals Chelsea on Tuesday night.

The hosts moved three points clear of Liverpool and four clear of Manchester City on a record-breaking evening at the Emirates, where they recorded their biggest-ever victory against the Blues.

A tough test was anticipated against a Chelsea side who had given Man City a terrific run for their money in the FA Cup semi-finals, only to be let down by wasteful finishing to ensure that they would end the season trophyless.

However, as the Blues put in one of their worst performances of the Mauricio Pochettino era, a scintillating and merciless Arsenal arguably put in one of their best, and it was an erstwhile Blues man who played a significant part in the rout.

Kai Havertz — who departed Stamford Bridge for £65m last summer — was guilty of some poor decisions in the final third, but he atoned for those mistakes with a fine brace to continue his renaissance in red and white.

'Kai was unbelievable in all departments

The Germany international — starting in the number nine slot again — firstly latched onto Martin Odegaard's astounding through ball, easily shrugged off Marc Cucurella and finished into the roof of the net to extend Arsenal's lead to three.

Just eight minutes later, Havertz notched his second of the evening with a composed finish off the inside of the post to move onto 11 Premier League goals for the campaign, his best-ever return in the top flight.

The former Chelsea man now has seven strikes and four assists to show from his last 10 Premier League outings, and he did not hesitate to celebrate against his old team after his first strike of the evening.
