Arsene Wenger's achievement of 1000 games at the helm of Arsenal is quite the feat, yet the day that saw him reach that mark in 2014 was one he'd sooner forget.
The Gunners made the short trip across London to take on a Chelsea side spearheaded by Wenger's greatest enemy of all - Jose Mourinho. The self-proclaimed 'special one' was in the middle of his second stint as Blues boss and was looking to inflict more misery on Wenger regardless of his special day and did so in emphatic fashion.
Barely 10 minutes had passed and Wenger already cut a miserable figure in the opposition technical area as goals from Samuel Eto'o and Andre Schurrle left Arsenal with a mountain to climb after just seven minutes on the clock. The travelling Gunners contingent would have feared the worst given this clash came just a month after their side were 4-0 down to Liverpool inside the opening half hour at Anfield in a tie they eventually lost 5-1.
