Eden Hazard is rejuvenated after what almost counted as his version of a gap year last season - and that goal was a moment of sheer magic from the Belgian.

Hazard left a trail of Arsenal defenders in his wake and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte was straight into the crowd in celebration.

Who can stop Chelsea? And is this shaping up as the day Arsenal's title challenge ends?

Lots of debate here at Stamford Bridge about whether that was a foul by Marcos Alonso on Hector Bellerin for Chelsea's goal.

Personal opinion? Clearly a collision but that was a natural jumping movement from Alonso and not every collision is a foul...so correct decision for me.

Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have been here before - into February and questions being asked about whether they have got the stomach and resilience for a serious Premier League title challenge.

And it is all because they start today's game at leaders Chelsea nine points adrift after that damaging home defeat by Watford on Tuesday.

All logic suggests a loss at Chelsea today will kill off Arsenal's title hopes for another season - it is that important for the Gunners and Arsene Wenger.

"He was 14, maybe 15 years old playing in an 18-year-old side," said Mr Bouckley. 

"On the way back from a pre-season tour we played against a team from RAF Wittering.

"During the game, Frank wandered into midfield from the full back position and probably after the third time I asked him to hit it, he smacked one into the top right hand corner.

"Everyone on the pitch just stopped, and it was that kind of moment where you thought 'wow'. We've just seen something special."
