Mauricio Pochettino will have likely been one of the most relieved men in all of London last night when the Blues picked up all three points against Manchester United.
Having been 2-0 up in the first few minutes, it looked as if they were going to throw it away again in embarrassing circumstances when they trailed 3-2 late on.
Cole Palmer was the calmest man in the stadium when he made it 3-3 in the final minutes, however he went one better seconds later with a deflected strike that sent Stamford Bridge into raptures.
Palmer the star for Chelsea
The England international made it 16 Premier League goals for the season with his hat-trick last night, and it is safe to say he played a large part in easing the pressure on the Argentine at the helm.
However, it is fair to say that one of the changes Pochettino made, admittedly late on, actually played a part in this too.
It took him until the final few minutes to bring on Noni Madueke, who had played a starring role in recent games for both club and country.

It looked as if this may have been too late for him to really make an impact, however when he drove inside from the right-wing he won himself a penalty, which was calmly tucked away.
His pace and direct dribbling is something the Blues had been missing pretty much since they went 2-0 up, after Mykhailo Mudryk had struggled to make the same impact he had from the start of the game.
If Madueke had proven already that he deserved to be starting more games, he only further enforced that last night by bringing exactly what they needed off the bench in what turned out to be memorable night at Stamford Bridge.
