FA Cup 2017/18: Chelsea 4-0 Hull City; 5 Talking Points

Willian's comeback proved to be vital

#2 Perfect preparation for Barca

It was all smiles at Stamford Bridge

It was important Chelsea got an emphatic and convincing win before their meeting with Barcelona in the Champions League. Any result other than a win would have left the team in panic mode. Olivier Giroud getting his maiden goal for his new team, Emerson's impressive debut, and even a clean sheet mean that they will be high on spirits.

Willian's timely comeback could prove to be the turn around the West-London club needed. It makes their bench stronger and leaves Antonio Conte with added options. Cesc Fabregas had one of his best game as he was magical in midfield.

The Blues will be high on confidence going into next week with two comfortable wins this week in the FA Cup and Premier League. It may prove to be the lift that Conte's side needed heading into one of the biggest clashes of their season.
