Comments:

League position: 6th Chelsea had now won six of their last 16 home games in the Premier League (lost two). In his fourth game, Raheem Sterling scored his first goals for the Blues following his summer move from Manchester City. They had now had a player or manager shown a red card in each of their last three games in the Premier League. Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the 12th minute for a foul but was reversed after a VAR review for offside.

Comments:
