The Blues went ahead early in the game with a brilliant free-kick scored by Oscar, placed just under the bar in the opening 6 minutes.
Chelsea was in full control of the game, dominating possession with over 70% of the ball until the last minute.
Two red cards were pulled out – one for each team – as Azpilicueta and Delaney were sent off in the 40th and 43rd minutes respectively. Mourinho responded with an instant change by replacing Willian with Filipe Luis.
Neil Warnock’s three changes came in the second-half; the most influential of which was the introduction of Manchester United loanee, Wilfried Zaha – who provided an assist later in the game.
Chelsea was at it again in the opening six minutes of the second-half with Cesc Fabregas scoring his first goal in the Premier League for Chelsea.
Mohamed Salah, who scored two goals in as many games for Egypt over the international break, made his way into the game for Mourinho’s side in the 86th minute, replacing Eden Hazard.
