Chelsea are now 12 points clear of London rivals Arsenal after our impressive 3-1 victory over Arsenal on Saturday. The victory over Arsenal means Arsenal have now lost six times in seven years at Stamford Bridge.

Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman insists Chelsea absolutely destroyed Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Saturday and Arsenal were never in the title race.

“A lot of people were saying Arsenal were potentially still in the title race – I didn’t believe so myself,” Osman told Match of the Day 2.

“Chelsea just went and absolutely destroyed Arsenal.

“They sent a clear message not only to Arsenal and the Arsenal fans but also the Premier League.

“They are the team running away with the league at the moment. They’re going to be very difficult to catch.”
