    Luke: Arsenal and their fans should be fuming. This game should have been out of sight and still lose. Wenger traits are hard to rid.

    Amrul: Arsenal naive. Point at Stamford Bridge second game of the season would have been a good result. Emery trying to play hero.

    He is full of running.

    Marcos Alonso chases down a lost cause and feeds Olivier Giroud in the box, but his shot high at the front post is tipped away by Petr Cech's long right arm.

    Ash: Ozil has been abysmal. Barely tracked back. His attacking play poor. Yet he looks disappointed to be subbed!
