Had it been Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo or Hazard, we would have been gobsmacked by the skill and the cheek. So Pedro take a bow. It was one of those moments that I am happy to use the age-old cliché about - ‘It was worth the entrance fee on its own.’

The most important thing was the three points but just as important was the fact that once again Antonio found a way to win under changed circumstances. Of course it has been a very settled side of late, but it only became settled after a radical change following the Arsenal defeat back in September. There was a need to change the methodology for the Bournemouth game when Diego was suspended and the boss surprised a few with his Pedro, Hazard and Willian trinity up front. It worked but Leicester away was a much bigger test. Well it appeared so before the game anyway. Once again the manager made the right call and this must be particularly depressing to watch for everyone else, a problem raises its head and Chelsea figure it out in double-quick time.

Doubtless Chelsea will be in the headlines with plenty of speculation this week again, as we always are around the transfer window period. As I write there are no obvious incoming or outgoings but it really isn’t a concern for another 10 days or so. In the meantime, like every other Chelsea fan I have had a look forward to the weekend coming and it looks like Manchester City v Spurs could be the most interesting game, apart from our own of course!

Right now we probably want a Man City win or a draw because Spurs have not quite been shaken off yet in the title chase. On the other hand, even a City defeat would not be all that negative because with Man United currently 12 points behind us, if we beat Hull City that would leave City 13 points adrift as well. It means that a top-four finish at the very least would look extraordinarily likely.

In the meantime, we need to take care of Hull. If we manage to keep Robert Snodgrass away from free-kicks around our box and penalties I am confident. Last but not least, a clean sheet was a welcome return for the defensive hard work at Leicester. Spurs scored two against us, as did Stoke City, but remember that is still just four goals shipped in 15 Premier games which works out at one every 1350 minutes, I would be perfectly happy to accept a continuation of those figures between now and the end of the season.
