Rafael Benitez has called on Chelsea to assemble a winning run and prove to the doubters that everything is going well at the club after his side swept past Stoke City 4-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.
Blues supporters are still not onside with the Spaniard, who replaced Roberto Di Matteo as manager in November, and he felt the heat again at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday when it lost to Swansea in its League Cup semifinal first leg.
However, they bounced back in style on Saturday to end Stoke's 11-month unbeaten home record thanks to two own goals from Jon Walters, a Frank Lampard penalty, and a stunning strike from Eden Hazard.
