Chelsea fans all over the world are enjoying a nice Sunday having pulled off a huge win in the Premier League on Saturday evening. But at least one thing will have made them wince this weekend.
The Blues overcame a patched up defence and scored a last minute winner through Estevao Willian to beat Liverpool at home and set themselves up for an international break with an improving mood around the place.
Celebrations lead to dangerous moment
Cole Palmer reacts to being jumped on by Jorrel Hato at full time after the Liverpool win.
Given the last minute nature of the winner, the celebrations at Stamford Bridge were predictably wild, with fireworks and “One Step Beyond” and the whole package.
But one things happened which will have tainted the mood a little for Blues fans just before an important period of rest and recovery for some players.

Hato almost hurts his injured teammate with celebration
Sky’s cameras caught Jorrel Hato, one of the players drafted in to a makeshift defence, leaping for joy at full time when he found the team’s talisman Cole Palmer.
Palmer is out injured, and when Hato leapt onto him the attacker instinctively reached for his wounded groin, shrugging the defender off with annoyed look.
We don’t think Hato actually hurt him, but the way that Palmer protected himself is a worrying sign. The fact that Hato looks so chastened after shows you this isn’t just a gag from Palmer.
If he’s still feeling that tender now, it’s hard to imagine him being back and fit even in two weeks once the international break is done. But the team proved last night they can win without him – so let’s not be rushing anyone back.
