How quickly things change, not just for a single player but for a manager and a club. Chelsea have won three games within a week and scored three goals in a game for the first time since October. The 3-1 win over Leicester on Saturday was the first away day victory since October too.
Most of the club's good feeling ended around then. The goals dried up, results got worse and worse, beyond anything that was expected to come with unprecedented upheaval and turnover. The reward is still small, beating two of the league's bottom five doesn't warrant many awards.
The result against Borussia Dortmund was bigger, that was the night that things appeared to change. Just how much this really matters in the long-run is something that we won't know for a while.
