Chelsea played a clinical, patient game against Stoke, waiting for the hosts to slip up and then punishing them for it. The Blues’ Spanish contingent led the way, with one embarrassing exception.
Chelsea earned their largest Premier League win of the season with a 4-0 victory over Stoke. Alvaro Morata scored his first Chelsea hat-trick, courtesy of two assists from Cesar Azpilicueta.
Stoke made the game exciting without ever really threatening Chelsea’s lead, which began in the second minute. The Blues went home with three points, and the perfect momentum and form for their next two games against Atletico Madrid and Manchester City.
