Chelsea battled to a 4-2 victory over Stoke City at Stamford Bridge to equal the record for successive Premier League wins in a single season.
The Blues twice led through Gary Cahill and Willian goals, only to be pegged back on both occasions by Bruno Martins Indi and Peter Crouch in a lively affair.
There was to be no end to the league leaders' perfect run of form, though, as Willian soon added his second of the afternoon and Diego Costa sealed things late on to keep the momentum going.

Antonio Conte: "At the start of the season, not one coach, not one person, not one journalist trusted in this team to fight for the title in this league this season. To have 12 wins in a row is a great achievement, but it's not enough to win the league at this point of the season. I'm pleased that the opinion is changing. I'm [also] a bit worried because, when the opinion changes quickly, you must pay attention."
Mark Hughes: "The run they are on at the moment is absolutely outstanding, but that run will come to an end at some point. We're going into it with the intention of stopping the run if we can - and why can't it be us? We went there last year and got our first point at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, which proves we have good talent in our team."
