    Jose Mourinho is at his cryptic best. This was his answer when asked about John Terry's sending off.

    I prefer to have no views. I prefer to try to keep quiet. I know many people are disappointed with this result - people love Chelsea to lose again. I'm so happy the players got what they deserve. Five points in three matches is not enough. The feeling is we are fighting against a lot. But today we won.

  2. Pedro's touchespublished at 15:36

    Pedro had 56 touches during that game, and as you can see, he likes to mix up his position.

    I see betting agencies are already giving out odds on whether John Terry will last the season with Chelsea. Expected, or overreaction?

    One last ball into the mixer from Claudio Yacob. Thibaut Courtois is underneath it.

    Chelsea survive. Just.

    Rickie Lambert knocks down Chris Brunt's cross and Salomon Rondon hits a shot from close range against Courtois. Jonas Olsson heads over the corner.

    Hazard is a joy to watch. He keeps the ball in the corner, not with strong hold-up play, but with turns and tricks and composure. Lovely stuff.

    Clever from Hazard. Sloppy from Gnabry, who gives away a silly free-kick on the Belgian and Chelsea can eat up time.

    There will be five minutes of injury time.

    Chris Brunt! So close. Cutting in from the right he swings a right boot and it angles over the bar.

    James Morrison, the scorer of both of West Brom's goals in this game and this season, is replaced by Craig Gardner.

    Serge Gnabry wriggles into space outside the area, but his shot is tame.

    Eden Hazard takes out two defenders by shifting one way and then another before flashing wide.

    Bye bye Pedro. It's been a blast. That's a pretty smart debut from the Spaniard.

    Mikel is on in his stead. It might be a slightly less flourishing performance from the midfielder.

    Serge Gnabry gets it back from a short corner, marches into the area, and puts it into row Z. Frustrating.

    Pedro, a player who Manchester United fans wanted, pulls across for Falcao, a player United fans are less fussed about, and the striker scuffs wide.

    Joey means "spot on", obviously.

    Diego Costa could have finished it all off here. He turns two Albion defenders inside out but puts a nine iron under the ball and clips it well over.

    That's it for Costa, who is replaced by Radamel Falcao. Callum McManaman goes off for West Brom, with Serge Gnabry on for his debut.
