Over the international break there was one really tragic bit of news for Chelsea fans – the death of comedian and Blues fan Sean Lock at the tragically young age of 58.
Stamford Bridge rose to applaud him in the 58th minute today, a worthy tribute to a much loved man and one of the Chelsea fans we can actually be proud of.
The team put in a great performance after two weeks off, and we were able to appreciate a great man with 3 points to boot.
You can see video of the moment, as filmed by fellow comedian and Chelsea fan David Baddiel, in the clip embedded here:
