|The fourth home match of the season and all the first three games had given us was a single point from the draw with Manchester United.
In an attempt to stabilise the defence, Ralph Hasenhüttl reverted to four at the back, with Yan Valery reinstated at full-back, following an injury to Cédric, and a front three of Nathan Redmond, Shane Long and Ings.
Unfortunately, the team had probably one of their worst games of the season, with Chelsea racing into a 2-0 lead within the first 25 minutes and although Danny Ings pulled a goal back on the half-hour, the visitors went on to score a further two goals for an emphatic win.
Danny Ings equalised in the 30th minute, which flattered the home side
