With the enterprising Ramadan Sobhi beginning to make inroads at the other end of the park, Stoke City had legitimate hopes of taking all three points from runaway leader Chelsea on Saturday.
Until Gary Cahill struck on 87 minutes.
The 31-year-old scooped the ball over Lee Grant after Erik Pieters only managed to squirm a desperate clearance attempt right into Cahill's grateful path.
The goal gave Antonio Conte's men a 2-1 victory, and a 13-point lead over idle Tottenham and Manchester City.
