'London is blue!' - Chelsea savagely troll Arsenal after bizarre sock gaffe precedes massive WSL victory over title rivals

Chelsea took a not-so-subtle dig at London rivals Arsenal after the Gunners were forced to use the Blues' socks in a damning defeat on Friday night.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Arsenal fell to a 3-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge on Friday, although the Gunners' embarrassment extended beyond the scoreline. A bizarre error with their away kit meant the away side had to wear Chelsea's away kit socks, which delayed kick-off by 30 minutes. After a dismal night both on and off the pitch for Arsenal, their London rivals couldn't help but aim a jibe in their direction.

WHAT CHELSEA POSTED
The Blues' X account posted a picture of the socks in question alongside the message: "London is Blue and so are your socks."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
A dominant first-half display got the job done for the Blues, with a Lauren James goal and Sjoeke Nusken brace causing a serious dent to Arsenal's WSL title hopes. The Gunners are now six points off Emma Hayes' side in top spot with a far-inferior goal difference. Chelsea, meanwhile, are still on course for a near-unprecedented quadruple before their manager departs for the USWNT in the summer.

WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA & ARSENAL?
That trophy charge resumes for the Blues on Tuesday, when they travel to Ajax in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Arsenal will look to put Friday's result behind them when they take on Aston Villa next Sunday. The pair meet again in the Conti Cup final on March 31.
