  WHAT HAPPENED?

  WHAT RICHARD KEYS SAID

  Keys said on : "I hesitate to refer back to my comments on when Arsenal beat Fulham last year, but it is just Brighton. It's looking like a Champions League celebration… and it's also feisty."

  When Andy Gray insisted it was a big result for Chelsea, Keys responded: "Is it?"

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Chelsea will be delighted with the three points after playing out a 4-4 draw with Manchester City and then a 4-1 defeat against Newcastle in their previous two matches. The celebrations likely stem from it incredibly being just the Blues' fourth win at Stamford Bridge this calendar year. The result leaves them 10th in the Premier League table and 10 points adrift of the top four.
