Chelsea has vowed to persist with the dashing soccer that has taken it four points clear in the Premier League, ahead of Tuesday's Champions League trip to in-form Shakhtar Donetsk.
In a far cry from last season's backs-to-the-wall success in the Champions League, Chelsea owes its early season momentum to expansive, attacking soccer illuminated by individual flourishes.
The London club's new face was in evidence again at White Hart Lane on Saturday, when it stormed back from 2-1 down against Tottenham Hotspur to win 4-2 and thereby galvanize its grip on first place.
