Gary Cahill returned to the starting eleven this afternoon, having missed the last three Premier League games courtesy of the red card he received on the opening day of the season, against Burnley.
When the team-sheet was announced, some of the Vital Chelsea membership thought it wasn`t the right move, a little disappointed that Antonio Rudiger had been benched.
Cahill, at times, looked a little rusty but, on the whole, did okay.
After the game, Cahill gave his thoughts to the media about the Chelsea performance, remarking,
'It is frustrating, a good, competitive London derby. There wasn't much in the game, played in the right manner.
'We had a lot of possession in the first half and tried to create but it felt frustrating. They defended well, we couldn't open them up."
And with regards to the red-card David Luiz received, Cahill further remarked,
'I didn't see the red card properly but David Luiz thought he was fouled beforehand."
And on getting back on track after that opening day defeat at the hands of Burnley, Cahill further added,
"We have responded well to losing on the opening day and got some strong results. We take the point and we move on.'
Next up for Chelsea is a League Cup game, at Stamford Bridge, against Nottingham Forest, followed by a trip to take on Stoke City at the BET365 Stadium.
