Head coach Ruben Amorim gambled on picking a virtually full-strength side of the men available to him and was rewarded with a competitive showing, if not the right result after Marc Cucurella's goal sent the points to the west Londoners.
Although there were some anxious moments, with the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Amad and Harry Maguire down at various points, it would appear we have emerged unscathed from the encounter at Stamford Bridge.
"I felt that, in the end, we will get all the players," Ruben said after the final whistle, when asked how we had come through the testing clash.
