CARLO: GUNNERS CAN HAVE NO COMPLAINTS

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti brushed aside Arsenal's complaints about a disallowed goal in the Blues' 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium.

A Didier Drogba double and an own goal from Thomas Vermaelen handed the Blues their fifth successive league win and ended the Gunners' 100% home record as they restored their five-point advantage at the top of the Barclays Premier League.

Arsenal had an Andrey Arshavin goal disallowed, with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger blasting the decision to penalise Eduardo's challenge on Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech in the build up.

But Ancelotti believes referee Andre Marriner made the right decision and called on his players not to lose their focus despite their lead at the top.

He said: "They (Arsenal) are upset because they lost and I think it was a foul on Petr Cech.

"We started the season believing we could win it (the league). Our objective is to stay in all the competitions until the end of the season. Then after that, if we can win things, we will try to do it.

"When I signed a contract with Chelsea, I believed we could win something."

The former AC Milan boss also chose to heap praise on Drogba's workrate.

"Drogba scored two goals and for me he did a good job," Ancelotti said. "In the second half he returned sometimes in defence in our half together with his other team-mates. His work maintained balance in our team."

Meanwhile, Ancelotti is hoping his team's FA Cup third-round draw against Watford will afford him the chance to meet one of his heroes.

The Blues won the cup last year, under the guidance of interim coach Guus Hiddink, and his successor Ancelotti will begin his attempt to match that feat with a home clash against the Hornets.

Ancelotti has said in the past that he is a big fan of English music, and he is hoping the match at Stamford Bridge early next year will allow him to meet former Watford chairman Sir Elton John.

"I do not know Watford very well at the moment but I will have the opportunity to learn about them," he said.

"The owner of Watford many years ago was Elton John. Elton John is my favourite singer. The match will be an opportunity to meet Elton John."
