A superb first-half performance saw Chelsea coast through to the next round of the FA Cup, as Hull were comfortably beaten 4-0 at Stamford Bridge on Friday evening. Willian was in fine form for the Blues, as he has been all season, and he opened his FA Cup account in just the second minute with […]
Chelsea recorded a much-needed 3-0 victory over West Brom as an Eden Hazard brace, sandwiched in between a rare Victor Moses goal, earned all three points for the Blues.

Chelsea continued their woeful form of late as a 10-man Blues side fell to a devastating 4-1 defeat to lowly Watford at Vicarage Road.
