5 Things we learned from Middlesbrough v Chelsea

The streaks continue

Victory for the Blues extends their winning run to six league matches. Not only does their winning streak continue, but that’s also the sixth consecutive clean sheet in the league for Antonio Conte’s side.

If they are to cement themselves in the title race they’ll need to keep this run going for as long as physically possible.  This is definitely easier said than done, with Chelsea’s next two fixtures being against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and former champions Manchester City.
