An ultimately comfortable victory at Stamford Bridge lifted them to the top of the pile. And while they are unlikely to remain at the summit to the end, they have shown that anybody with serious designs on the title must finish in front of Jose Mourinho’s side.
Stunning goals from Mohamed Salah and the brilliant Willian, along with a penalty from Frank Lampard, carried them past a Stoke challenge which slowly ran out of energy and ambition.
After a few alarms, they enter a critical week of their season in decent heart and reasonable shape. It is all they could have asked.
