Chelsea has regained their hold on the Premier League summit following a straightforward 3-0 win over Stoke City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Victory ended the club's run of two successive defeats and maintained manager Jose Mourinho's remarkable record of never having lost at home in the Premier League.
According to Sport24, goals from Mohamed Salah, Frank Lampard and Willian were enough for Mourinho's side to move ahead of Liverpool, who play West Ham on Sunday, by a point.
The victory also gave the Stamford Bridge side a timely boost ahead of Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final decider against Paris Saint-Germain, where Chelsea must overturn a 3-1 first leg deficit if they are to reach the last four, the report added.
