Mauricio Pochettino’s side conceded just five minutes into the clash, with Leandro Trossard giving the hosts an early lead.
Ben White then helped himself to an improbable brace in the second half, with former Chelsea star Kai Havertz also scoring twice to rub salt into his former employers’ wounds.
With Mikel Arteta’s men leading 5-0 after another from White and cruising, the camera turned outside, where a supporter held aloft a sign addressed to the dejected Chelsea team.
It read: “I don’t want your shirt! I want you to want to fight for ours. UTC (Up the Chels).”
The fan’s heartfelt message resonated with the Blues faithful, who were quick to agree with the youngster’s views on social media.
One X user said: “That sign the kid was holding broke me even more. Hang your head in shame, Chelsea.”
Another posted: “This sign held by a fan at tonight’s game says it all…FIGHT FOR THE JERSEY!”
A third added: “Poch should nail this to the dressing room wall.”

This fan messaged: “Absolutely perfect. Beyond embarrassing at this point.
“These players, with the exception of one or two, don’t even deserve to wear this jersey. So bad.”
And then one of them just said, “Damn, it’s true.” »
