Cameroon star Samuel Etoo kept up his recent fine goal scoring run with a sublime finish that opened the floodgates as Chelsea routed 10-man Arsenal 6:0 in the English Premier League on Saturday. The 33-year-old has now scored a goal in each of his last three games for the London club. However a hamstring injury in the ninth minute cut short his game as he was replaced by Spain striker Fernando Torres. Etoo struck in the fourth minute when he cut inside from the right flank before curling a left-footed strike past Polish goalkeeper Tomasz Szczesny in the Arsenal goal. Goals by German Andre Schurrle, Belgian Eden Hazard and a double from Brazilian forward Oscar followed, before Egyptian substitute Mohammed Salah opened his Chelsea account to seal the win. The 21-year-old Pharaoh ran clear from the centre circle before tucking the ball under the goalkeeper in the 71st minute, just three minutes after being on the pitch. Nigeria midfielder Mikel Obi was the third African in action in the game for Chelsea after joining the fray in the 72nd minute for Brazil star David Luiz. The victory marred Arsenal manager Arsene Wengers 1000th game in charge of Arsenal.
