League position: 11th . Like the proverbial London buses, in avoiding failing to score in four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2007, Chelsea scored twice in the space of 82 seconds. . This was their first win in the Premier League against a team that started the game above them in the table since 18 May 2021 against Leicester City. . The Blues had now won three of their last 19 games in the Premier League (lost ten).
