Ex-Chelsea defender Jason Cundy thinks that the Blues' comprehensive destruction of Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday has ended any suggestions they are flat track bullies.
While Antonio Conte's men have enjoyed a clutch of impressive results this season, they have been well beaten by both Arsenal and Liverpool, raising concerns over their quality in big games.
But Cundy thinks they answered those concerns in style by drubbing Manchester United 4-0, a game which marked an unhappy return to Stamford Bridge for Jose Mourinho.
And the ex-Blues defender thinks Chelsea can no longer be classed as flat track bullies.
He said on Chelsea TV following the match: "They were coming here on the back of two defeats against the big heads [Arsenal and Liverpool].

"Are we flat track bullies? Well, I think this puts a nail in that coffin and says no, we can go toe-to-toe and beat them."
Chelsea now face two away games on the spin with a trip to the London Stadium to play West Ham in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night, before then heading to St. Mary's to lock horns with Southampton in a Premier League fixture on Sunday.
Conte's men welcome in November by hosting Everton at Stamford Bridge on 5th November.
