Full time: Chelsea 2-0 Hull City
Peep peep! Chelsea go eight points clear with a victory that was less comfortable than the scoreline suggests. They have now won 15 of their last 16 Premier League games. Hull have plenty of reasons to be optimistic, though their first thought will be for the welfare of Ryan Mason, who was taken to hospital after a horrible clash of heads with Gary Cahill. Thanks for your company; night.

GOAL! Chelsea 2-0 Hull City (Cahill 81)
Fabregas wafts a curling free-kick into the six-yard box from the left, and Cahill stretches to head emphatically into the net. He had a run on his marker, Niasse I think, and finished with his usual authority.

Cahill heads home the second.
 
74 min Chelsea are hanging on a bit. Matic fouls Evandro, who takes the free-kick on the right wing. It’s rubbish and cleared by Kante.

Evandro taken down by Matic.
 
64 min Eden Hazard is limping after his ankle was bitten by David Meyler. Or maybe he trod on Hazard’s foot, it’s hard to be sure.

Hazard goes down.
 
54 min Costa’s shot on the turn is crucially blocked by Dawson, throwing himself at the ball like John Terry. The resulting corner is half cleared to Costa, whose vicious volley is also blocked.

Diego Costa celebrated that goal by using both hands to make the universal signal for “you talk too much”. I bet he knows the Chinese for it as well.

45+2 min Davies, who has been booked, fouls Pedro just outside the area. Neil Swarbrick gives him a last warning.

41 min Costa has a goal disallowed for offside. It was the right decision, just about.

Costa, not happy with that decision
 
Diego has two years left on his contract. He’s very happy to stay with us and play for Chelsea. Now we must concentrate on the present and not look too far ahead. If we do that we risk losing the present, and that’s more important than the future."
