Chelsea shocks the world by winning

Wonders never cease. The Blues have won a game by beating a club with far, far less resources 3-1. Still, you’ve got to take your pleasures where you find them. The Chelsea squad is full of very talented players who have not been assembled with any thought, don’t know how to play as a team and have not been organised well enough to do so. However, they should be talented enough to grind out a few wins simply by virtue of their quality and so it was at the Vitality Stadium. Oddly enough, they didn’t really play better than they had for the 10 games they’d gone without a win and the Cherries could easily have come away with something Hakim Ziyech and Raheem Sterling were booed by their own fans on to the pitch as subs, but both assisted for two late goals. Chelsea fans sarcastically chanted ‘we are staying up’.
