In this day's weird Premier League match, Salah enjoys his Chelsea debut while Arsenal wishes they had VAR.

It has been ten years since one of the most bizarre matches in Premier League history as Chelsea thrashed Arsenal 6-0 at Stamford Bridge in March 2014

Ten years ago, Chelsea and Arsenal faced off at Stamford Bridge in a game that’s since been dubbed the craziest meeting between the two sides ever. The Blues were trying to increase their lead at the top, while the Gunners were aiming to leapfrog Manchester City into third place.

It was Arsene Wenger’s 1000th game in charge, but it quickly became a day he’d rather forget.

Samuel Eto’o got Chelsea off to a great start within five minutes by curling a shot into the corner. Andre Schurrle then doubled their lead with a powerful shot past Wojciech Szczesny.

But then, after Eden Hazard’s shot was deflected wide, things got controversial.

Referee Andre Marriner stopped play and pointed to the penalty spot, thinking Kieran Gibbs had handled the ball. He then reached into his pocket, pulled out a red card, and sent off the Arsenal left-back for denying a goal-scoring opportunity.

But replays showed that it was actually midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who had touched the ball with his hand, not Gibbs. The Arsenal players surrounded the referee in protest, with Oxlade-Chamberlain even telling Marriner that he was the one who had committed the offence.

Even when Oxlade-Chamberlain let Marriner know the truth, the Birmingham referee stuck with his first decision and Gibbs went off for a quick shower. Hazard was then able to step up and slam the ball home, scoring Chelsea’s third goal in just 17 minutes and practically guaranteeing a win.

Next, Oscar managed to score on either side of half-time, putting Chelsea at a clear advantage with a 5-0 lead. Mohamed Salah piled on Arsenal’s woes by adding a sixth goal, coolly beating Szczesny to score his debut goal for Chelsea after joining from Basel.

“I don’t believe it is the time to talk too much about [what went wrong],” Wenger said in his post-match conference. “It was a nightmare and I take full responsibility for it. The players are deeply disappointed, as we all are. When you don’t turn up in a game of this stature nobody takes that easily.”

On the other hand, Chelsea’s manager Jose Mourinho celebrated their victory: “It was 10 amazing minutes (the start). In 10 minutes you can win a game. In 10 minutes you can show anybody you won’t give any chance to any opponent. I am so happy with the approach. We came to kill and, in 10 minutes, we destroy. After that, easy.”
