Emiliano Martinez underwent successful minor surgery after his sickening collision with Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite with Chelsea's goalkeeper set for weeks on the sidelines. Xabi Alonso's secured their first clean sheet of the Premier League season with the help of Martinez‚ who was injured while bravely coming to clear a 67th-minute set-piece. He was then replaced by 21-year-old Mike Penders for the remainder of Chelsea's 2-0 victory.

KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Chelsea got the three goals needed to defeat Fulham 3-2‚ and the four required to beat Brighton 4-3‚ but this time‚ the awesomeness of the attack did not outweigh the direness of the defending. We knew it would catch up with Chelsea eventually. It simply isn't sustainable‚ relying on outscoring the opposition every single week. Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro got a goal apiece so that Xabi Alonso could avoid losing to Sergej Jakirovic's streetwise Hull side‚ at least.
