Among the four giants of the Premier League, the London duo won two consecutive victories with a big score and topped the standings, Manchester United won one win and one draw, ranking seventh, and the worst Liverpool ranked second to last with a goal difference, which is embarrassing.
Before the start of the third round, Liverpool finally won at home with a narrow one-goal win over West Bromwich Albion.
Despite winning at home, they were still heavily criticized by the media, looking at the other three giants, who only won by one goal at home?
Even Manchester United, they won by three goals at home.
Back at home, Chelsea halted their big win with a two-goal win over Stoke City at Stamford Bridge.
With three wins in a row and 14 goals scored without conceding a single goal in three games, the Blues are in no bad form and would be the most uplifted team in the Premier League without Arsenal.
In this round of Arsenal's away challenge to Blackburn, Arsene Wenger sent all the main players to play, and Arshavin continued to get a starting position.
After the start of the game, the Gunners began to control the pace of the game on the field with their powerful attacking power.
However, Blackburn resisted stubbornly under the shouts of the home fans, and it was not until the 40th minute of the first half that Arsenal really tore apart the opponent's defense.
Arsenal went into the second half with a one-goal lead and Arshavin's goal tore through Blackburn's psychological defence.
At the beginning of the second half, Cesc Fabregas made a diagonal pass from outside the penalty area, Chen Fan flew to control the football, and just as he was about to smash the ball and cut inside, he was brought down by the opposing central defender.
The referee did not hesitate to award a penalty, and Van Persie made it 2-0!
In the seventeenth minute of the second half, Chen Fan successfully broke the ball in the front court, and then broke through the opponent's two defenders to get a single knife!
He bypassed the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the empty goal, three to zero!
Seeing that Wenger had a three-goal lead and victory was in his hands, he made substitution adjustments, replacing goalscorers Chen Fan and Van Persie successively.
But at the moment, Arsenal have gone crazy, and the end of the Dutch double did not stop the other players from scoring.
In the 31st minute of the second half, full-back Sagna assisted, a cross from the wing, Diaby grabbed a point in the penalty area, and scored with a beautiful header.
Football goes into the net, 4 to 0!
In the thirty-ninth minute of the second half, Cesc Fabregas got a single knife and a push, 5-0!

They beat city rivals Chelsea, who have also won three in a row and scored 14 goals in three games, to top the table!
