On this day 11 years ago: Chelsea "congratulated" Wenger on his 1000th Arsenal match with a 0-6 defeat
The Arsenal clashes under Arsène Wenger against the Premier League's top clubs have truly become legendary. But only a few of them have etched their names in football history, such as the game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on March 22, 2014.
Details: On that day, Wenger took to the field in a celebratory mood as it was the Frenchman's 1000th game at the helm of Arsenal. However, the celebration for the coach and his team was overshadowed by the seventh minute due to goals from Samuel Eto'o and André Schürrle.
Ultimately, the match ended in a resounding 6-0 for Chelsea! The then-manager of the "Blues," José Mourinho, was not new to spoiling the Frenchman's milestones, as he was the one who defeated Wenger in his 500th match in charge of Arsenal.
This was also José Mourinho's biggest victory in the Premier League as Chelsea's manager and the first time in the "Pensioners'" history that they scored six times against their London rivals.
Reminder: The recent match between Arsenal and Chelsea, now at the "Gunners'" ground, ended in a refereeing scandal.
