In the final act of the Premier League’s weekend action, Chelsea maintained their lead at the division’s summit with a measured 2-0 win over Hull City at Stamford Bridge.
Indeed, we’ve seen Antonio Conte’s Blues play some fantastic football over the course of the campaign but this was more an occasion for the unspectacular, sealing a win that would continue their Premier League pace-setting run without running the risk of a shock defeat to the division’s second-bottom placed side.

Epitomising that mantra perfectly was a Man of the Match performance from Victor Moses. Whilst more star-studded team-mates struggled to produce their customary impact, the unsung Nigerian proved the difference in a tight match in west London.
Moses provided the assist for Diego Costa’s opener just before half-time, as his low cross, spinning slightly away from goal, trickled through bodies to find the Premier League’s joint-top scorer loitering near the penalty spot.
But as our infographic shows, Moses’ overall contribution was equally impressive, highlighting the all-action, up-and-down style he’s brought to the right wing-back role. The 26-year-old created another two chances, beat his man twice and flung in eight crosses, whilst making his presence felt at the other end with two tackles and two interceptions.
He may not be the most glamorous name on the Chelsea team-sheet, but Moses proved against Hull why he’s become so important to this title-chasing Blues side; in short, he’s their unsung hero.
