KINGSTON UPON HULL, England -- Three quick thoughts from Chelsea's 2-0 Premier League win over Hull City at the KCOM Stadium on Saturday.
1. Chelsea steady the ship in Hull
Such is the way of things, whenever a big team loses a couple of games then reaction will inevitably be strong. After Chelsea were defeated by Liverpool and then Arsenal, doom was foretold, but losses to those two does not an apocalyptic situation make.
Defeat at Hull City might have been a little closer to that, a genuine sign that a team might be in trouble, but Chelsea avoided that with a comfortable 2-0 victory on Humberside, calming the waters a little for Antonio Conte and his side.
