Didier Drogba took his goal tally against Arsenal to 12 in 12 games today as we dominated the Gunners at Stamford Bridge.

The Ivorian netted both of the Blues' goals as Chelsea smothered the competition and Petr Cech kept his 100th Premier League clean sheet.

John Terry also put in an outstanding performance as he captained Chelsea back to the top of the Barclays Premier League with the 2-0 win.

It was an eventful match which unfolded amidst an electric atmosphere in west London as Chelsea achieved our second win of the campaign over Arsene Wenger's side.

In the team today, both John Mikel Obi and Cech reached milestones as they made their 150th and 250th Chelsea appearances respectively.

It was Mikel's first fixture since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations and he lined up in the middle of Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard. In front of them sat Nicolas Anelka and Florent Malouda, with Didier Drogba leading the attack.

Arsenal fielded Theo Walcott at right wing, while Thomas Rosicky warmed the bench. Their attacking three also included Andrey Arshavin and Samir Nasri.
