The Blues compounded Mikel Arteta's side woes with a comfortable away win at the Emirates Stadium.

Didier Drogba has praised the Chelsea team following their 2-0 triumph over Arsenal in a Premier League game on Sunday.

The two-time African Footballer of the Year commended the Blues' dominant performance at the Emirates Stadium as they maintained their unblemished start to the 2021-22 campaign.

First-half goals from Romelu Lukaku and Reece James were enough to seal maximum points for Chelsea which moved them to the top of the Premier League table, level on six points with Liverpool, Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur after two games.

During his nine-year stint at Chelsea before his retirement, Drogba tormented the Gunners with his goals. He scored 13 goals in 15 appearances against Arsenal across all competitions in the Blues shirt.

After Sunday's victory in North London, the Ivory Coast legend disclosed that Thomas Tuchel’s side are strong enough for the 2021-22 season as they gun for their seventh Premier League title.

"Arsenal vs Chelsea same old story. My team strong, real strong Chelsea," Drogba tweeted with a laughing emoji.
