From the match on the 29th of October in 2011... Chelsea 3 v 5 Arsenal FC in The Premiership Chelsea scorers lampard 14′ terry 45′ mata 80′ Arsenal scorers van persie 36′ 85′ and 90′ santos 49′ and walcott 55′..... Robin van Persies hat trick inspired Arsenal to an incredible victory against Chelsea as their recovery gathered momentum in a Stamford Bridge thriller. The Gunners captain demonstrated his importance to the team by taking his tally to an outstanding 28 goals in 27 Premier League games as Chelsea slumped again after their shock defeat at QPR last week. And it was a miserable afternoon for Chelsea and England captain John Terry at the end of a week in which has he faced allegations of racial abuse against QPRs Anton Ferdinand claims he denies. Terry scored to give Chelsea the lead just before half time but then slipped crucially late on to gift van Persie a goal and a lead Arsenal never relinquished. Frank Lampard had headed Chelsea in front after 14 minutes but in a game strewn with defensive errors, Van Persie put Arsenal back in contention from Gervinhos pass. Terrys goal looked to have put Chelsea in control on the stroke of half time but Arsenals response presented a compelling case for Arsene Wengers insistence that reports of his sides demise have been greatly exaggerated. Andre Santos equalised and the outstanding Theo Walcott put The Arsenal ahead for the first time before Juan Matas spectacular strike set up the finale to an enthralling encounter. Terry lost his footing to allow Van Persie to race clear for Arsenals fourth after 85 minutes before the Netherlands striker completed a second treble against Chelsea by hammering his third past Petr Cech deep into stoppage time. Wengers wild celebrations with his players and backroom staff told the Chelsea 3-5 Arsenal story and made it eight wins in Arsenals last nine games. Arsenal have been piecing their season back together after a poor start and the manner of this win will provide added reserves of confidence and self belief...... @back in the day ....
