Arsène Wenger took the blame for Arsenal's 6-0 loss at Chelsea in his 1,000th match as manager.

"This defeat is my fault, I take full responsibility for it,' Wenger said, in an interview with the BBC. "I don't think there's too much need to talk about the mistakes we made. We got a good hiding today."

Arsenal was down 2-0 within just seven minutes.

"Yes, of course it's one of the worst days [in my career]. It's over after 20 minutes and it's a long game after that. You don't prepare all week to experience that kind of experience.

"It's how we respond now on Tuesday night [against Swansea] and the best way is not to explain too much the mistakes."
