All the talk centred around one man as Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to record only their second Premier League win of the season.
But that was only part of the story, as Arsenal defender Gabriel Paulista saw red in the first half after a lengthy confrontation with Diego Costa.
Before the game, the main talking points were the presence of one man and the lack of another in the starting lineups.
Former Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech returned to Stamford Bridge for the first time since leaving for Arsenal in the summer and was welcomed warmly by his old fans.
