Four different Englishmen scored for Chelsea in a Premier League game for the first time as the Blues thrashed Norwich City by a 7-0 scoreline on Saturday afternoon.
Despite not having the likes of Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku at his disposal, head coach Thomas Tuchel found the right solutions as the leaders extended their lead at the top of the table.
Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Reece James and Ben Chilwell all netted before the hour mark, the scoring being completed by an own goal from Max Aarons and two further strikes from Mount.
Chelsea also became the first top-flight club in five years to have four different English players score in the same game, something which last occurred when Bournemouth played Hull City in 2016.
According to Opta, Chilwell became the first English player to score in four successive Premier League games for Chelsea since 2013.

The 7-0 success was Chelsea's biggest win in the Premier League since their 8-0 hammering of Aston Villa in December 2012.
