William and Diego Costa scored twice in six second-half minutes as Chelsea won 2 - 0 at Hull City on saturday to claim a first win in four Premier League games.
William struck in the 61st minutes after Chelsea launched one of a series of increasingly dangerous counter-attack.
Costa's pass picked out the Brazilian, who checked, putting his defender out of the game in the process, before curling an unstoppable shot into the top-right corner of the Hull goal.
Six minutes later the game was put beyond hull's reach in similar fashion. having powered into the area, Nemanja Matic saw a shot blocked by Curtis Davies, but costa latched onto the rebound to bend a shot past Hull goalkeeper David Marshall for his sixth goal in seven games.
victory provisionally lifted Chelsea to sixth place in the table and saw Hull drop to 15th.
Yet Hull had forced Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois into the only two saves of significance in the first half and, in between, gave as good as they got against a club they have not beaten in 28 years. After just four minutes, and a David Luiz foul on Dieumerci Mbokani, Robert Snodgrass's terrific 25-yard free-kick forced the Chelsea keeper into a twisting save as he turned the ball over his crossbar.
In first-half injury time, Ryan Mason gathered the ball 25 yards from goal and unleashed a strong shot that courtois appeared to see late as he forced it behind for a corner.
