#3 600 minutes!

Christian Eriksen
Chelsea had not conceded a single goal in 600 minutes in the Premier League

Between Mesut Ozil's goal against Chelsea at Emirates and Christian Eriksen's goal at Stamford Bridge last night, there was a gap of exactly 600 minutes played. Chelsea had not conceded a single goal in that time span in the Premier League.

Have they been found out? No really. The strike was sweet half-volley from just outside the D-Box, and it was unstoppable. Apart from that, there wasn't other attempt at goal that seemed to threaten Courtois.

Chelsea's 3-4-3 formation is still going strong, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to break them down. David Luiz, Gary Cahill, and Azpilicueta might seem to be the prominent force in this, but it's Alonso and Moses who are working wonders down the wings.
