10 worst Arsenal games of the 2012/13 season

7. Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea, Premier League, Emirates Stadium, 29th September 2012

(Arsenal - Gervinho 42; Chelsea - Torres 20, Mata 53)

Arsenal were looking solid so far, having drawn Sunderland and Stoke in their opening games, convincingly beaten Liverpool and Southampton and a fine performance at the Etihad. But this encounter with Chelsea showed just how much was lacking in the side. Fernando Torres easily scored the opening goal, Koscielny just an onlooker. Diaby hobbled off the pitch with an injury, and Arsenal huffed and puffed to get their equalizer, when Gervinho scored on 42 minutes, with a well taken effort. However, Juan Mata’s free kick from long range went in unchallenged, and Chelsea effectively shut out Arsenal for the rest of the game.
