It was tougher than expected, but Chelsea managed to leave Stamford Bridge with another 3 points on Sunday…
The Stamford Bridge faithful was in full voice for the visit of West Brom on Sunday, with Antonio Conte looking to make it 9 wins on the bounce.
What followed was not always pretty, but it was efficient from the Blues – and all it took was one Diego Costa chance in the second-half, and the Blues managed to hold on for an ultimately decisive 1-0 victory.
Unlike in previous weeks, everyone in the Chelsea first team looked impressive – but a few special shoutouts must go towards Diego Costa and the impressive Gary Cahill – with the English defender bouncing back masterfully after a couple of disappointing weeks in a Blue shirt.
In the long run, the result could become absolutely crucial – and the Chelsea fans around the world are, unsurprisingly, delighted with the way that the game ended.
With that said, here are 7 of the best Chelsea fan reactions to the Blues’ 1-0 win over West Brom…

Diego Costa an obvious contender for MOTM because he scored, but Cahill has been absolutely superb.

Fabregas on the pitch for two minutes and notches up an assist. Gotta keep him at the club. Can play a huge role in our challenge this year.
