Twitter reacts as Chelsea hammer Arsenal 3-1 to end the title race

Chelsea went 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League table, swatting away Arsenal 3-1 at Stamford Bridge. Marcos Alonso gave Chelsea a controversial lead, as he elbowed Bellerin while scoring the opener. Eden Hazard confirmed Chelsea’s superiority with a wonderful solo goal, minutes into the second half. Cesc Fabregas made it 3-0 late in the game, capitalising on Petr Cech’s error, before Olivier Giroud scored a consolation goal in injury time.

41 - Percentage of Arsenal fans delighted Marcos Alonso has scored as he's in their fantasy football team. Priorities.

Alonso smashing Bellerín to bits as he gets to the ball first and scores might be the most perfect encapsulation of Chelsea v Arsenal ever.

N’Golo Kante is an alien. No, really.

Kante must have intercepted his mom's morning after pill before he was conceived. Lol

— Danny Welbeck (@WelBeast) February 4, 2017

Kante is everything Arsenal aren’t. And that’s probably why he’ll win 2 league titles back to back.

The Arsenal fans are in meltdown...

Sell all the players and just hire a guy to go to fans houses and punch them in the face every weekend.

Fabregas’ goal was a perfect microcosm of Arsenal’s season

The ultimate shame for Arsenal. A Cesc goal and a Cech error. pic.twitter.com/zQmzRPy9NR

3 - If Chelsea played Arsenal at home every week, they'd have won the league 3 weeks ago. Preference.

Cech assist for Fabregas. 3-0. The most Arsenal thing in history.

— Sam (@samuelJayC) February 4, 2017

Surprised Giroud didn't pull out the Scorpion celebration after that. Their first goal since 2013 at the Bridge and it's meaningless
