WATCH: Thibaut Courtois Produces An Unreal Save In Last Minute

Chelsea maintained their six point gap at the top of the Premier League following their 1-nil victory at Sunderland but thanks to the brilliance of Thibaut Courtois.

Antonio Conte's men were faced with the worse team in the league; Sunderland. But despite that, Chelsea didn't have it all their way scraping past the bottom of the league side.

Cesc Fabregas grabbed the only goal of the game securing all three points. And while the Chelsea faithfuls will be pleased with the Spaniard's effort, they'll be thanking their Belgium stopper, too.

In the dying stages of the game as Sunderland were mounting heavy pressure, Patrick Van Arnholt unleashed a piledriver from outside the box but was denied by the heroics of Courtois:

WHAT. A. SAVE!
