Chelsea's Ashley Cole loves it when the Arsenal fans taunt him as it makes beating his old club even more enjoyable.[LNB]The England defender left Arsenal for Stamford Bridge in 2006 and supporters of his old employers have never forgiven him.[LNB]Cole was jeered at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday but the left-back had the last laugh by setting up two of Chelsea's goals in a 3-0 victory.[LNB] Hello again: Cole returned to haunt Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday[LNB]'I've enjoyed coming back here [to the Emirates] now,' he said. 'Yes, I get booed but it's all fun. I have another win so I'm very happy. I have been at Chelsea for three-and-a-half years now and I have moved on in my head. It doesn't really bother me, it's life.'[LNB] The Blues have kept a clean sheet in eight of their lat nine games in all competitions and haven't conceded at home since the opening day of the season.[LNB]Cole added in the Evening Standard: 'In the big games we defend well. Teams like Arsenal are going to get chances but we defended well as a team from up front with Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Joe Cole working hard. We know we will get a chance and score because these guys are on form at the minute. [LNB]Silencing the crowd: Cole[LNB]'If we keep clean sheets then we know we will win games. That's what matters in the big matches and if you want to win the Premier League you have to beat these kind of teams and so far it is going well. [LNB]'Last year we didn't beat the top four sides and that cost us but so far so good. We have won these games.'[LNB] Cole, 28, has been on the front pages as well as the back over the past few years but he insists his unsavoury incidents are behind him.[LNB]Team-mate Frank Lampard thinks so and rates Cole as the best in the world in his position.[LNB]Cole said: 'I think I have grown up. I had tough times but I'm happy with my life now. I enjoy life outside of football and that's what makes it enjoyable to get up, come here and train every day. [LNB]'It is nice for people to say I'm the best left-back. I never said I was the best or one of the best, I just want to keep playing, keep playing well and winning things and let other people talk. [LNB]'I'm just here to do a good job for my team. If the manager, players and fans are happy with what I'm doing that's all that matters to me.'[LNB] Arsenal fans paid the price for Ashley abuse, blasts Chelsea star LampardArsenal, Man City and Chelsea eye up £10m bid for Barcelona outcast ToureChelsea star Frank Lampard salutes Blues brothers Ashley Cole, Nicolas Anelka and Didier DrogbaEXCLUSIVE: Romelu Lukaku - the teenage sensation wanted by Chelsea who they call the new Didier DrogbaVIDEO SPECIAL: Watch footage of Belgian boy wonder Romelu LukakuARSENAL FC
