6: Eduardo and Michael Essien collide as both go full pelt into a sliding challenge on the slick surface, as rain continues to pour down at Emirates Stadium.
7: The Croatia striker is soon back on his feet, and almost robs England captain John Terry on the edge of the Chelsea box, but Ricardo Carvalho clears the loose ball.
15: Didier Drogba's run clear onto a pass from Joe Cole is halted by an offside flag, which replays suggest was a poor call from the assistant on the far side.
21: Chelsea feel they have a shout for a penalty when Sagna appears to pull down Nicolas Anelka as they stretch for the ball, but referee Andre Marriner waves play on.
23: Drogba heads the ball down from a deep cross into the area, but it is straight at Manuel Almunia.
37: The Ivory Coast striker is in the thick of the action again when he clatters into Arsenal centre-back Thomas Vermaelen and is shown a yellow card.

86: ARSENAL 0 CHELSEA 3 - Drogba wraps things up as he smashes in a 25-yard free-kick.
