Mauricio Pochettino looked a devastated figure as he conducted his post-match press conference at the Emirates Stadium.

The Chelsea head coach had just witnessed a demolition job from Arsenal on his Blues side. The Gunners extended their advantage at the top of the Premier League table to three points with the comprehensive win against Chelsea.

Goals from Leandro Trossard and two each from Kai Havertz and Ben White ensured a straightforward win for Arsenal. Understandably, Pochettino did not seem a happy man as he conducted his media duties after the game. You can read the full transcript below.

What did you make of your team's performance?

«I feel disappointed, I feel really bad. I don't feel great. The performance was not good. We started the game not in the way we were supposed to start. We conceded a goal so easily, we made things easy for Arsenal.

»I think after 10 or 15 minutes, after we concede, in this moment we started to play a little bit, we started to create some chances. We were talking at half-time, it is not possible to start the game like this, but we started in a bad way again – conceding two goals in this moment, I think the team gave up and we were not in the game."

How do you stop the rest of the season unravelling?

«It's difficult to talk because we are talking after nearly one season in the same way. It's impossible to see after Saturday at Wembley, a fantastic performance, competed really well against a very good team like Manchester City and then today.
