Chelsea 3-0 Middlesbrough
Chelsea kept hot on the heels of leaders Manchester united with an easy three goal victory over Middlesbrough. Without their Portuguese central defender, Ricardo Carvalho, Michael Essien had to continue at centre half.
Essien has been played in virtually every position bar goal this term and has impressed each time. Deployed as a centre-back on Saturday, his versatility is vital to Chelsea’s title aspirations with their recent injury crisis.

Hearts 1 - 0 Inverness CT
Hearts had substitute Michal Pospisil to thank for a victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle. January signing Laryea Kingston looked to be Hearts' most creative force but there were few on the same wavelength as the Ghanaian international. He stamped his authority on his home debut with an adventurous midfield performance.
"He was impressive . . . he bossed us a bit," was the verdict on Laryea, whose energy and range of passing suggest he will do well at hearts. The former Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder - a midweek goalscorer for Ghana - did, though, tire in the second half.
