ARSENAL CRASH OUT OF CAPITAL ONE CUP

Arsenal crashed out of the fourth round of the Capital One Cup as they were gun down by Chelsea at the Emirate stadium. Hence, Chelsea booked their place in the fifth round of the Capital One Cup at Arsenal's expense as goals from Cesar Azpilicueta and Juan Mata clinched a 2-0 win at Emirates Stadium.Jose Mourinho made ten changes to his Chelsea side for the trip to Arsenal but that did not hinder his team as they overcame the English Premier League leaders. Azpilicueta scored the opening goal of the game on 25 minutes as he pounced on a mistake from Carl Jenkinson, whose header back to Lukasz Fabianski was too weak.Arsenal improved in the early stages of the second half and brought on Mesut Ozil in a bid to aid their chances of a comeback, but Mata's fine strike in the 66th minute wrapped up the win for the Blues.Giroud was also  introduced for arsenal after conceding the second goal but he could not change the situation for the gunners.
Elsewhere, Javier Hernandez scored a brace to ensure Manchester United secured a comfortable 4-0 victory over Norwich City at Old Trafford, while Fulham lost 4-3 at Leicester and West Ham beat Burnley 2-0.
