LONDON (Reuters) - For five years, Chelsea were the nemesis of Arsenal and their coach Arsene Wenger so Saturday's resounding 3-0 victory in the London derby represented a psychological boost for the Frenchman.

The last time Arsenal beat Chelsea in the league was in October 2011 and for three years they had not even scored a goal against their cross-town rivals, not counting a 1-0 win in the pre-season Community Shield match in 2015.
