Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has dismissed pundits' claims they were never going to beat Chelsea yesterday.

Chelsea went into the match big favourites for the sofa-sitting crowd and eventually thumped the Gunners 3-0.

But afterwards, Wenger told arsenal.com: “I am used to definite conclusions from people who see the score and have great knowledge. But I believe, let people talk and let’s play tomorrow and go back to training and practice. And that’s always what you get in an excessive world.

"I personally believe from what I’ve seen, that was not the case. I never had the impression that we could not win this game we were quite on top for a lot of the game.”
