Stoke City boss Mark Hughes has revealed that he was delighted with his side's performance in their 1-0 victory over Chelsea.
The Potters earned the three points from the contest as a second-half strike from Marko Arnautovic proved to be the difference between the sides, despite a flurry of late chances for the Blues.
Hughes told BBC Sport: "We displayed great character today, all the qualities you need to compete against one of the best teams in Europe. They have world class players.
"We are really delighted. We have beaten them twice in a short period of time and both efforts were outstanding.
"Chelsea played well today, they weren't poor. They are struggling to get positive results but they will turn it around, no shadow of a doubt. Maybe they won't go up against sides as committed as we are every week."
Stoke rose to 12th in the Premier League following their victory.
