Happy days return at the Bridge

Chelsea 2 Hull City 0

Goals from Oscar and Frank Lampard were enough to seal victory against a Hull team likely to be fighting relegation this season; but what happened off the field was just as important in terms of what Chelsea can achieve over the same period.

The Special One, of course, was given a rousing, vociferous and emotional reception before kick-off but it was not only about him, it was about the owner too.
