Watford opened up a two-point gap at the top of the table, coming from behind to beat Millwall 3-1. The Hornets leapfrogged previous leaders Derby following the Rams' dramatic defeat at Brentford, who came from behind to win 2-1 thanks to a last-minute Stuart Dallas goal.

Leeds' latest managerial change failed to improve results, as Neil Redfearn oversaw a 3-1 defeat at Cardiff. It was also a losing start for new Blackpool boss Lee Clark, whose side were defeated 2-0 at home by Ipswich.

Middlesbrough moved into the second automatic promotion spot with a 3-0 win at Rotherham, while Wigan and Fulham shared the points - and six goals - in a thriller at the DW Stadium.

Huddersfield cruised to a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, whose fine start to the season seems a very distant memory, and Blackburn beat Reading 3-1 at Ewood Park.

Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton, speaking to BBC Sport: "It is frustrating. We are desperate for a win but I think we went about the game well. We restricted them to few chances for up to 70 minutes. There are things we can learn from today and hopefully that puts us in a good shape going forward.

"Everyone is giving everything they have to get a result. If we keep doing what we have been doing we are confident, but it is about not letting the gap get too big."

West Ham winger Stewart Downing, who created the first and scored the second to inspire a comeback from 2-0 down: "The manager gave us a rocket a half-time, but I'm sure he would be happy with a point at the end of that.

"We would probably have lost that game last season by two or three goals. But if you can pick up points on the road when you are not playing well, that's always a bonus."

"Judge me after 10 games" managers often say. Well we are 10 games in so Ronald Koeman, you are very, very good indeed.

Who had Southampton and West Ham in their top five at this stage of the season? I don't believe you!

Lisa: Real struggle at Stamford Bridge today but titles can be won in ugly games like this. Three points are three points.

Charlie, London: Alan Irvine and West Brom have managed to do what Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool haven't. They've bought 12 new players and are ahead of Spurs and one point behind Liverpool.

Dan, Malvern: Every goal Alexis Sanchez scores adds another £2.5m to the bid we'll receive from Manchester City next summer. You know, like with every other good player we had over the past few seasons...

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says he did not enjoy the game today at all.

"We didn't play well, but we deserve to win," he says. Full quotes to come from the Portuguese.

"West Ham looked a beaten side when they were 2-0 down early in the second half, but Stewart Downing had other ideas. He created the Hammers' first for Enner Valencia and scored the equaliser himself to extend West Ham's unbeaten run to four matches. Stoke will feel they should have won this."

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard says "sometimes you cannot play good but we stay top of the league."

You cannot argue with that logic.

"It was an enjoyable game which ebbed and flowed. Jose Mourinho will be delighted with the three points and Harry Redknapp will be happy with the workrate of his team. QPR never gave up and made life tough for Chelsea."
