Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins was delighted after seeing the leaders and reigning champions clinch a 2-0 Premier League victory at home to Arsenal.

Goals from Didier Drogba and Alex ensured the Blues extended their lead at the top of the table to four points.

Although the Gunners enjoyed their fair share of possession at Stamford Bridge, the reigning champions' prowess in front of goal shone through, a fact that delighted Wilkins.

"Whenever we play Arsenal they worry me because they are one of the teams that can take the ball off us and we might not get it back for a period," he told Sky Sports.

"They did that today without scoring thankfully. They do worry me and I was absolutely thrilled that we got the three points against them.

"We are managing to be very consistent with picking up points now. We were desperately disappointed with the way we played against Manchester City.

"We put that right against Marseille and today has been a fantastic win for us."
