What started out with such promise ended in utter disaster for Arsenal. The matched started out great for the Gunners. Arsenal had most of the possessions but little to show for it.

But once again, mister money player showed up. Didier Drogba punished the Gunners in the 41^st minute. Cole’s great low cross into the box was struck home by Drogba to give the Blues a 1-0 lead.

Can you say game, set, and match?

Four minutes later, an own goal by Thomas Vermaelen sealed the Gunners fate. Ashley Cole fired ball into the box. Bing. Bam. Boom. The ball ricochets off of Vermaelen’s shin into the Arsenal net to make it 2-0 Chelsea at the break.

Turn out the lights the party’s over.

Stick a fork in Arsenal for they are surely done on this Sunday.

Arsenal thought they had cut the lead to 2-1 but Arshavin’s smash into the back of the net was disallowed due to Eduardo’s high boot on Blues keeper Cech.

Drogba’s lightening quick strike from twenty-five yards out in the 86^th minute sealed the deal for Chelsea. The Blues 3-0 win over Arsenal places Chelsea into the drivers seat in the race for the EPL title.

Chelsea is in the pole position with 36 points. Man U is in second place with 31 points.

The Spurs are now in third place with 26 points. Arsenal is in fourth place with 25 points.

Liverpool jumped into fifth place with a huge 2-0 win over Everton.

Everton completely outplayed the Reds but Liverpool won on an own goal by Joseph Yobo. Reds Javier Mascherano fired a great ball into the box Yobo made a bone head play. Yobo deflected the ball past keeper Tim Howard to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead after the 12^th minute

Dirk Kuyt nailed the winner off another defensive boo-boo by the one and only Yobo in the 80^th minute to make it 2-0 Reds.

Can you say I would rather be lucky than good?

The Reds now have 23 points.

This win may have saved Liverpool’s season.

Chelsea looks like the class of the EPL so far however there is still a lot of futebol to be played. The EPL champ will have anywhere between four and six losses.

Please don’t forget that the Blues will be without out Drogba for the month of January due to the Africans Cup.
