Cesar Azpilicueta gave Chelsea a first-half lead on the break from an Arsenal corner, latching on to Carl Jenkinson's poor header back and poking in. The second goal came from Mata in the 66th minute which sealed the fate of the Gunners.
The match was a repeat of the 2007 League Cup final - which Chelsea also won - the result marked a second consecutive home defeat for Arsenal, the first time this has happened since February 2013, and reduces their chances of ending their eight-year trophy wait.
It may be added that Arsenal have been criticised for failing to defend properly from their own corners this season, and again they succumbed to a counter attack.
The victory takes the Blues in the quarters of the Capital One Cup.
