Saturday 15th November
Sunday Times, John Aizlewood: "For Chelsea it could hardly have gone more to plan and their performance could hardly have been more professional. First they withstood West Bromwich Albion’s early onslaught. Then, once Albion’s sting had been drawn they scored three clinical goals before half-time, just to remind everyone who leads the Premier League this morning. And finally, they played out the second half with neither fuss nor ado."

The Guardian, Mike Adamson: "In 1956
these two teams played an FA Cup tie that lasted five matches and nine hours, the length of time this tie must have felt to the Chelsea manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari. He watched his team concede
the first-half lead given to them by Didier Drogba, making his first start for six weeks, as an impressive Burnley team took the game to extra-time. The Championship side then beat the Premier
League leaders on penalties thanks largely to the heroics of their goalkeeper, Brian Jensen."

Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: "Apres le deluge, Le Sulk. Following a monsoon that almost forced an
abandonment, the famously moody Nicolas Anelka struck twice, once unintentionally, once brilliantly, to propel Chelsea back in front of this compelling title race. In setting a Premier League
record of nine successive away wins, Chelsea also confirmed the character and technical class in their ranks."
