Chelsea brutally trolled by Arsenal DJ with song choice after 5-0 battering… did you hear it?
ARSENAL’S DJ was accused of “rubbing it in” after playing Kai Havertz’s song at the end of their game against Chelsea.
Mikel Arteta‘s Gunners ran out 5-0 winners in a thorough demolition job of Mauricio Pochettino‘s visiting Blues.
A first half goal from Leandro Trossard set Arsenal on their way after just four minutes.
However, the goal glut did not truly begin until the second half, when a Ben White brace was sandwiched either side of two strikes from Havertz.
The former Chelsea ace, 24, bagged his first goal of the evening as he ran through and produced a clinical finish under pressure from Marc Cucurella to make it 3-0.
He then grabbed his second eight minutes later as he picked up the ball in the area and moved the ball to his left before arrowing a shot in off the woodwork into the bottom right corner.
Kai Havertz puts the icing on the cake against his former club

The German did not hold back from celebrating against his old club as he reached double figures for goals in the Premier League with his 10th and 11th strikes of the season.
However, after the game Arsenal’s stadium DJ, Peter Mujuzi, couldn’t resist relishing the crushing win over their London rivals – Arsenal’s biggest ever win over Chelsea.
After the final whistle had gone, Shakira‘s hit football song “Waka Waka” could be heard playing in the stadium.
On it’s own it would mean very little, but Havertz’s performances over the season with Arsenal have earned him a song from the fans to the tune of the hit.

And Arsenal fans duly obliged in flexing their singing voices again, singing in unison: “Tsamina mina, eh, eh. Waka waka, eh, eh.
“£60million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again.”
Fans rushed to social media to voice their love for the DJ’s quick thinking, with one saying: “Sksksksk ending the game with Havertz song. I love this game.”
A second said: “Playing the Havertz song at full time. I see you
@PeterOnSports.”
Another said: “You’re class.”
A fourth added: “Arsenal are so petty lool playing Havertz’ song first.”
A fifth said: “They played Kai Havertz song at full time. They are rubbing it in.”
The use of The Merrymen’s “Feeling Hot Hot Hot” later on had Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand praising the DJ.
He said: “The DJ is on fire by the way. Feeling hot, hot, hot.”
There was also some pettiness from Chelsea’s side relating to Havertz as they refused to name him when announcing the Arsenal goalscorers on social media.
The result puts Arsenal three points clear at the top of the table before title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City play tomorrow and Thursday respectively.
Second-place Liverpool are three points behind with a game in hand while third-place Man City are four behind with two games in hand.

Mikel Arteta's striker shopping list
By Jordan Davies
ARSENAL are stepping up plans to sign a world-class striker in the summer after their Champions League heartbreak.
Mikel Arteta splashed out £204.5m last summer on Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.
But the Spanish manager accepts he needs a proven goalscorer to take the club to the next level.
And here are the players he is looking at to get the Gunners firing:
BENJAMIN SESKO (RB Leipzig, value £40m-£45m)
One for the future at 20 years old. Scored 16 goals for RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga last season and the Slovenian has carried on that good form in Germany with Leipzig this campaign.
VIKTOR GYOKERES (Sporting Lisbon, value £60m-£80m)
Been scouted several times this season. The Swedish striker, 25, is more of a traditional No 9 so may not suit Arsenal’s demand for flexibility but would bring a physicality that boss Mikel Arteta craves.
ALEXANDER ISAK (Newcastle, value £75m-£85m)
Impressed in his first two seasons in English football. The Swede, 24, has the pace and finesse to match his finishing ability, and Eddie Howe’s Toon may need to sell to balance the books this summer.
JOSHUA ZIRKZEE (Bologna, value £45m-£50m)
Dutch wonder is attracting the attentions of clubs across Europe. At 6ft 4in the 22-year-old forward would have no trouble adapting to the Premier League and already has an eye for goal.
XAVI SIMONS (RB Leipzig, value £70m-£80m)
An incredible talent in the Bukayo Saka mould, currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The future of the Dutch attacker, 20, depends on how much money his parent club want to make from him.
