JONAS EIDEVALL reckons Arsenal\u2019s dominance of Chelsea was reminiscent of Barcelona\u2019s past defeats of the Blues<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Beth Mead and Alessia Russo were among the scorers during the Gunners\u2019 storming 4-1 victory at the Emirates on Sunday.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

Their performance and defeat of their rivals was watched largest crowd at a WSL game to date with more 59,000 spectators at the stadium. <\/p>\n

At the ground where she injured her knee last November,\u00a0 Mead and player of the match Russo were on fire along with their team-mates. <\/p>\n

Goals in the game played this afternoon included two scored in two minutes as they threw down a title gauntlet going level on points with the league leaders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eidevall, whose Gunners are currently second, said: \u201cThe way we managed the ball against Chelsea, I haven't seen any team apart from Barcelona doing that well against them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our strongest performance so far this season but in football if you want to win anything it\u2019s about being consistent in performances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is telling for me when you see the reaction \u2013 yes we\u2019re happy \u2013 but at the end of the day it is our finishing position in the league that will matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bullied was the word Emma Hayes used to describe how Chelsea fared in the first clash between the two sides this team\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their London rivals, who they have not beaten away on four occasions in the WSL, had just five shots on target netting four of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blues boss Hayes said: \u201cThat\u2019s as bad as I\u2019ve seen us for a long time. The better team won by a country mile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey bullied us. They dominated in the duels, all phases of our play were poor. \u201cThat (performance) was not our best, that\u2019s probably us at our very worst.\u201d<\/p>\n

It took just eight minutes before the deadlock was broken by Eidevall\u2019s side\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mead underlined her return to form unleashing a shot into the top of the net after being teed up by Victoria Pelova.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was her first goal scored at the Emirates this term.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chelsea, skippered by Sam Kerr with Millie Bright currently recovering from an injured knee, looked to hit back swiftly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They did so with Johanna Rytting Kaneryd slotting into the bottom corner five minutes after Mead\u2019s opener.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However some observers will have questioned whether the goal should have stood with Kerr appearing to obscure goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger\u2019s view.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Arsenal continued to keep up the pressure in a<\/p>\n

They went 2-1 up as Amanda Ilestedt headed home with Ann-Katrin Berger failing to claim the ball with her attempted catch from a 36th-minute corner kick.<\/p>\n

Russo made it 3-1 slamming home after a powerful run in the 38th-<\/p>\n

Hayes made a triple substitution with Fran Kirby among those entering the fray in the second half.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But things didn\u2019t any easier for the visitors. <\/p>\n

Lauren James was subbed off shortly after treading on Lia Walti\u2019s foot off the ball following an aerial challenge on Lotte Wubben-Moy<\/p>\n

The challenge on Walti saw James get a yellow card with the Chelsea forward among six players cautioned during the game.<\/p>\n

The hosts won a late pen when Russo was upended in the box by Berger with the keeper coming off her line to claim the ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Russo\u2019s spot-kick and brace sealed an emphatic victory ahead of the derby clash with Tottenham this Saturday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Following the result, Hayes added: \u201cEven when we did well to win the ball back, we gave it away again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
