At times last week it seemed some were ready to award Chelsea the Premier League title on the back on a 3-1 win at Burnley. And though in the end they did re-discover some of that momentum on Saturday, the over-riding lesson of their victory over Leicester was the stark reminder that Chelsea�s season will be a degree tougher in the long run and that they still struggle against well-organised teams. True, they won comfortably enough in the end with goals from Diego Costa and Eden Hazard. And they could even afford a carnival moment towards the end, with Didier Drogba coming on, a hero returning to his natural home, on 79 minutes.
