Chelsea are in the lead!
This felt like an important game for Mauricio Pochettino, and it had the most awful start. But since then the Blues found their confidence and have now scored two.
Mykhailo Mudryk has got the second, making the most of his new role as a number ten to find space in the box to swoop home a cutback. It’s still pretty quiet in Stamford Bridge, we hope this gets them on their feet. This team still looks nervy and needs support even with the lead in hand.

The words “Mudryk” and “#10” used together sound like the start of a bad joke. Clearly Poch felt he needed to rest some guys and had to bring Mudryk into the lineup, but the guy’s lousy touch and low football IQ are the opposite of a #10, lol!
