End! Hard earn 3 pts

Tibo kept 2 pts for us. Good game.
3 pts, top of the league 6 pts ahead

Willian waste too many chances

Player stat

we need to improve our finishing and final balls.

expect a better performance in the next game.

if you score 3 goals still 3 pts, same as if you score 1..but 3 goals will killed off the game. it will be easier for us to control the game.

Difficult place to come but still manage to win. 6 points clear. Next cystal palace,another tricky away game. Bring it on!

Whats up with more and more team adapting the 3-4-3 formation.

Good win. If look at the table, it crazy close between 2nd to 5th place with MU catching up for the battle for top 4.
Hope we can at least maintain the 6 points cushion until new year

Palace will be very tough one.. Pardew's sides always seem to kaw2 against Chelsea..remember newcastle? Lol our bogey team last time

And i noticed few players look tired maybe due to less rotation.

i don't really like willian's body language in the game against sunderland. felt like a sulking player, perhaps pondering on something. we started to have injuries to the core player such as matic and hazard. so far, fabregas has proven himself a capable backup for matic but for hazard, his like-for-like replacement which is willian need to put a bit more effort. our defenders has been injury free so far except some minor knock.. hopefully conte can start to integrate zouma into the team and get him some minutes in the PL.

tough win away from home. good 3 points for the team!

That save from tibo was worth six points. Kept us in the lead today and played a major part with 2 world class stops. Long may it continue.

Agree with the observations on willian,he needs to do so much more. More game time will definitely help with that,but that lack of decisiveness and poor short passing (I think costa was extremely annoyed but chose not to show it too much) are two things he needs to address. Let's see if conte gives him another chance vs palace.

I have a feeling this will be the match that costa gets his 5th yellow as well. Just a feeling

That anholt shot saved by kortua is just holy shit moment

Great skill by anholt too. Bring the ball to his left very quick and shoot

10 down 4 to go? can we catch arsenal 14 winning streaks?

a strategy to nullify opponents formation is to adopt theirs so that they can man mark 1-on-1, but its more than that. it seems that pther teams may have bit by bit figure out to nullify ours after the toffess drubbing its like we grind out result and tougher to crack down opposition teams (bar our wasteful chances).

Magic 40 point. Well we save from relegation..

considering we also linger around the relegation zone last season, this surely a big achievement already to us!

Sunderland 0-1 Chelsea BBC MOTD Post Match Analysis on Antonio Conte's Blues

true that, major leap

Agree about our poor finishing..willian and moses the top culprit. And praise to mighty Tbo, world class goalkeeping.

Anyway, i think overall we did improve from previous matches.

10 win a in row is a big achievement, but every team study hard to crack our 343...
Conte as well as the players need to work harder
