A late winner against Newcastle, tight nerves against Watford and Ajax away from home, a display of individual brilliance at Burnley - this Chelsea team is learning how to win matches through a variety of approaches.

More significantly, there's a feeling of assumed inevitability whenever they're down or in dire need of a response. It's too clear to assign to incompetence, as Lampard certainly seems to have infused a bigger desire in each heart present within the dressing room.

The moment Azpilicueta rushed to celebrate, kiss the badge and lift everyone inside Stamford Bridge, he, along with his charges, hinted a clear indication of that goal being more than just a remote lifeline.

It was a call for response, a moment that would go on to inspire the entire unit to snatch a point off Ajax's claws.

There will be slip-ups, off days and occasions where this team, already vulnerable to conceding goals, will put in disheartening performances. But Chelsea certainly possesses a huge heart that craves glory and mainly results - one at a time.
