CHELSEA WAIABISHA VIBAYA ARSENAL KWAKUIPIGA GOLI 2 BUYU JIONEE HAPA

Jose Mourinho fixed Arsene Wenger with that knowing look and forced him to turn away. There is nothing for Chelsea to be afraid of here.
The 'psychological influence' that Arsenal's manager spoke of ahead of the Capital One Cup tie at the Emirates has been stripped away in one decisive night.
Chelsea are through to the quarter-finals of this competition and yet it feels like something so much bigger took place. They have Arsenal's measure.

Easily done: Juan Mata netted Chelsea's second goal of the game with a beautiful strike

This is two proper teams they have lost to under the lights here at the Emirates inside a week. First Dortmund, now Chelsea. Not good enough.
If they make it a hat-trick against Liverpool in the teatime kick-off on Saturday, then the feel-good factor around this place will have been eaten away.
They made a dog's dinner of this, frustrating their fans by allowing Chelsea to play on the front foot in their own backyard.
Cesar Azpilicueta scored Chelsea's opener after a horrible defensive mistake by Carl Jenkinson and Juan Mata finished the job with a beauty.
They are too good for Arsenal, that much is clear.
Chelsea's back-up keeper Mark Schwarzer barely had a save to make. Arsenal are on a warning ahead of their clash with Liverpool.
Chelsea fans taunted Arsenal with one of their favourite songs: 'Where's your European Cup?' The answer is nowhere.

The immediate priority for the both these sides was the Capital One Cup and the guarantee that one of the biggest teams in the competition would fall in the fourth round.
Mourinho has a real affinity with the trophy, his first in English football after his arrival from Porto in 2004.
They beat Liverpool in a thrilling 2005 final at the Millennium Stadium and went on to win the Barclays Premier League in his first season.
Mourinho's a trophy hunter and he has the squad equipped to deal with a charge for honours on four fronts.
They are looking good, full of self-assurance and more than a hint of that familiar Chelsea swagger as they settle into the season.
Mourinho's team kept Arsenal at arm's length, allowing them to prod the ball around in areas where they couldn't be hurt in the opening spell. It was too way.

When Azpilicueta scored in the 25th minute they looked as though they could pick Arsenal off whenever they fancied it.
Michael Essien and Samuel Eto'o engineered the counter, exchanging passes in the centre of the pitch as they launched an attack when an Arsenal corner broke down.
Aaron Ramsey challenged Essien and when the ball spun into the air it forced Jenkinson to commit to a header in the direction of Lukasz Fabianski. It didn't reach him.
Azpilicueta seized upon it, chasing the ball down and beating Fabianski with a clever flick that nestled just inside his far post.
That was his first goal for Chelsea, setting off towards Arsenal supporters in celebration and sending them into a frenzy with a swan-dive down by the touchline.
It was not going Arsenal's way. Nicklas Bendtner's touch let him down, making life too easy for Essien and John Mikel Obi to sweep up in front of the Chelsea's back four.

Touch of class: Juan Mata was handed a start. Here is the playmaker's heat map

Point to prove: Mata scored with a sweet finish to punish Arsenal

Warm welcome: Mourinho gives Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson a pat on the back during the game

Santi Cazorla's passes were a fraction too long and Tomas Rosicky was having the same problem when he was in possession. They needed precision.
That was Arsenal's trouble every time they played the final ball. It was nearly there, but nearly is not good enough against a team with Chelsea's pedigree.
The fact this game is the fourth round of the Capital One Cup is irrelevant. There is never any let-up against Chelsea. Against Mourinho.  Against their fans, who were baiting Arsenal from the stands.
The game had its moments of genuine high-quality. Mata's elegant backheel 10 minutes into the first half made fools of Cazorla and Ramsey.
Cazorla exacted revenge on Chelsea's creator, twisting like an eel and scurrying away with the ball when Arsenal were in trouble on the edge of their own area.
But this was not the performance of potential champions. Far from it.
Respect to Ramsey for running his legs off. He was deep in the red zone when Arsenal went down to 10 men against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Pick that one out: Mata (No 10) struck the second goal of the night from outside the area

Big appeal: Eto'o hits the deck after being pursued by Laurent Koscielny during the second half

His clever chip had set up Olivier Giroud to clinch it at Palace and he dug in to help his team guarantee top spot in the Premier League for another week.
Wenger called in a favour, starting him in the centre of midfield in an attempt to muzzle Essien and Mikel. He's almost out of juice.
But Wenger left Ramsey on until the 81st minute, hoping one more surging run could bring Arsenal level with a strike from the edge of the area.
He went close, sending a right foot effort wide of Schwarzer's post as they started to explore other options.
Bendtner, booed when he was substituted, inexplicably rolled the ball into Ramsey's path on the edge of the area when it was obvious that he had to shoot.
That's the difference between these teams. Chelsea do not need a second invitation and Mata finished them with a sweet finish.
Ryan Bertrand's throw-in was flicked on by Eto'o. Mata took a touch with his left foot and hammered in Chelsea's second with his right.
That sent Wenger back into the dug-out, but Mourinho's eyes are on a far bigger prize.
