Noni Madueke has something other Chelsea stars don't as Frank Lampard discovers two undroppables

Be honest: How many of you actually believed Chelsea would pick up three points at Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon?

If any of you said 'me', then firstly I'm not sure if I believe you and if it is true, then fair play. Going into the match, Frank Lampard's side had been beaten in their last six games in all competitions. The interim Blues head coach has insisted all along that there are still things to play for this season and has spoken a lot about taking "pride" in their play to take "steps" forward. Well they did that on Saturday – much to everyone's surprise.

After every one of Chelsea's three goals, the travelling supporters – who were loud all game long at a rainy Vitality Stadium – were very vocal with their tongue-in-cheek chants about how bad their team have been recently. "How s*** must you be, we're winning a game," as well as "we've scored a goal" were just a couple of the songs coming from the away end.
