The English Premier League is full of drama, and the plot this weekend continued to interest and confound.

On Saturday afternoon, post-Jose Mourinho Chelsea made easy work of visiting fellow strugglers Sunderland 3-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea players looked unhinged as they never were this season and instantly looked like showing the whole world that the change of manager was what they really needed to start playing with frightening dominance again.

It took just five minutes for The Blues to open the scoring. Branislav Ivanovic, who has looked largely poor this season, scored with a strong header to the top left of Sunderland’s net from a cross.

Facing accusations from some sections of the crowd who felt sacked coach Jose Mourinho was betrayed by the players, the home side doubled the lead in the 13th minute through Pedro.

Chelsea’s third came early in the second half through an Oscar penalty after Sunderland’s ’keeper Costel Pantilmon was adjudged to have upended Willian who was through on goal.

Sunderland immediately pulled one back through Fabio Borini, a half-time substitute, who was in the right place to bundle Thibaut Courtois’ parry from a Kaboul header into the back of the net.

The result put Chelsea, who were watched by new caretaker manager Guus Hiddink, who sat with club owner Roman Abramovich and legend Didier Drogba at the VIP box, some distance other fellow relegation strugglers.
