10-man Chelsea crushed West Ham United 4-1 at Stamford Bridge on this day in 2006.
With no Premier League football on at the moment, it's time to take a look back at Chelsea's vital 4-1 victory over West Ham United at Stamford Bridge 14 years ago to the day.
James Collins gave West Ham the lead before goals from Didier Drogba, Hernan Crespo, John Terry and William Gallas gave Chelsea an important victory in the race for the league title.
One down in the opening minutes
It wasn't the best start for Blues boss Jose Mourinho, as he saw his side go a goal down after just 10 minutes, when centre-back Collins buried a header from a corner to put the West Ham 1-0 up.
Chelsea immediately pushed for an equaliser, and they almost found it, with Maniche hitting the crossbar following Drogba's low cross into the box, Michael Essien subsequently heading the rebound wide.
On 17 minutes, things went from bad to worse for the home side, as Maniche was given a straight red card by referee Chris Foy for a desperate lunging tackle on West Ham defender Lionel Scaloni, now putting Stamford Bridge on tenterhooks.
A change in fortune
Last year's Premier League champions eventually found the goal they'd been craving. On 28 minutes, Frank Lampard's long ball over the top of the Hammers defence found Drogba, who controlled the pass brilliantly and finished from close range at the second time of asking past the stranded Danny Gabbidon on the line after the Ivorian's first shot was blocked by Collins.
Three minutes later, Chelsea took the lead and Drogba was involved yet again as his shot across goal came off Collins, the ball deflecting into the path of the lurking Hernan Crespo, who slotted home from five yards out.
That was all the first half goals, but Chelsea didn't stop scoring in the second half. John Terry extended the Blues' lead on 54 minutes, lashing home from 12 yards after William Gallas hit the bar for his third goal of the league season.
The Stamford Bridge side killed the game off on 69 minutes, with Gallas turning and stabbing the ball home from six yards out after Arjen Robben's freekick found the Frenchman.
That result proved crucial for Chelsea in their hunt for a second consecutive league title, as they tightened their grip on top spot, leading second placed Manchester United by seven points with five games left to play.
The Aftermath
Despite losing their final two games of their season, Chelsea went on to claim their second Premier League title in two years, finishing the season on 91 points, eight points ahead of Man United.
Lampard took the honour of being the Blues' highest scorer in the league, bagging 16 goals, followed closely by Drogba, who scored 12.
