Player of the Match
Kieran O’Sullivan (Chelsea) – Rating: 8.5
Two goals, constant menace down the right, and growing into one of Dimario’s most potent attacking weapons.
What It Means
Chelsea’s grip on the top of the Premier League tightens further, while QPR are left to lick their wounds after back-to-back defeats to the same opponent. Dimario’s men look unrelenting — with depth, discipline and now swagger.
