Guus Hiddink, appointed interim boss at Chelsea just ahead of Saturday's contest against Sunderland, enjoyed the match from the stands at Stamford Bridge - as is customary for a new manager, who will often defer to the existing assistants if he or she hasn't had a full week to prepare before the first game.
The Dutchman was joined by club kingpin Roman Abramovich and, much to the delight of supporters in attendance, legendary striker Didier Drogba.

It definitely had more to do with the fact that the opponent was an abysmal Sunderland side, but Hiddink's presence has already started paying dividends - Chelsea scored twice in the early minutes of the contest.
