Mustafi had one of his nights where he looked like a genuinely top class defender and again Wilshere showed he cannot be left out no matter how Wenger chooses to perm his midfield duo.

Chelsea were poor also I thought to be honest, when you see a superb footballer like Will.I.Am going off and being replaced by a fat, perhaps challenged Scouser then you know the stars are shining in your constellation.

And of course there was no Sanchez, remiss of me to not mention that. Can only imagine how fuming he is in his Manchester hotel this morning as he regrets the haste of his decision.
Yes. I must admit that my spirits soared when I saw Willian limping off. Barkley is a huge lump of a thing, isn't he? I must admit my opinion of Wilshere improved immensely when he greeted his return from long-term injury with a distinctly robust challenge.
