Chelsea's Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah opened his account with the Blues after finding the net against Arsenal in Saturday's English Premier League clash.

The pacy winger, who replaced Brazilian playmaker Oscar seven minutes past the hour mark, made an instant impact after beating the offside trap to latch onto a long ball and place a low shot beyond the reach of Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny.

His goal was the icing on the cake for a rampant Chelsea side, who humiliated Arsenal 6-0 in Arsene Wenger's 1,000 match in charge of the ailing Gunners, who haven't won any title since lifting the FA Cup trophy in 2005.

Salah also had a curling shot that went wide with seven minutes remaining as he stakes his claim for a prominent role with Chelsea, whom he joined from Swiss side Basel on a four-and-a-half year deal in January.
