Theo Walcott was a surprise started, seemingly included as a countermeasure for Chelsea left back Ashley Cole. Within the first ten minutes of the half, the Arsenal winger has added to his star's luster, adding a goal to his 51st minute assist, putting Arsenal up 3-0 after 52 minutes.
Arsenal Vs. Chelsea: Theo Walcott Puts Gunners Up Three
Like the Cesc Fàbregas goal, though, Arsenal's latest tally has a result of Chelsea's mistakes. A pass from John Terry to Florent Malouda near the middle of the pitch was intercepted by Walcott, who poked the ball beyond Chelsea defense before running onto it. For the second time in two minutes, he was headed in alone on goal, but rather than looking for a teammate to set-up. Walcott took this chance and slotted his goal far post, giving the Gunners a 3-0 lead eight minutes into the second half.
Carlo Ancelotti responded immediately and punitively. Florent Malouda has been taken off. Gaël Kakuta is on, with Arsenal on the verge of what could be a trademark victory. After all the doubts surrounding the Gunners ability to beat the Chelseas and Manchester Uniteds of the world, Arsenal holds a 3-0 lead.
