Chelsea dedicates win to Chapecoense plane crash victims
Footballer David Luiz dedicated Chelsea's win on Saturday to those killed in the Chapecoense plane crash.
The Brazilian player, who had ice strapped to his knee following Sergio Aguero's tackle, declined to speak about the brawl at the end of the match.
He and fellow Brazilian player Willian displayed a black arm band to the crowd during the match.
"I prefer to give this victory to the people in Brazil, Luiz said after the match. "I had some friends there and it's difficult to play this kind of game. We just need to play for the families because it's difficult for everyone."
Players from both sides wore black arm bands in tribute to the 71 people who died in Monday's crash outside Medellin, Colombia.

Nineteen Chapecoense players died when the LaMia charter plane crashed into a mountainside in Columbia on Monday. The team were on their way to play the final of the South American cup - the biggest match in the club's history.
Football teams around the world have paid tribute to the 'Cinderella' club. Brazilian teams have offered to lend players to the club for free and Tuesday night's Premier League matches began with a one-minute silence.
Umbro, who make Chapecoense's strip, said they were struggling to keep up with demand for all the Brazilian clubs requesting commemorative editions ahead of the final game of the season.
Forensic authorities say they have managed to identify a majority of the victims of the air tragedy.
Chapecoense football shirts sell out after global demand
An outpouring of support for the Brazilian football team devastated by the Colombian plane crash this week has led to a shortage of shirts.
Umbro, who make Chapecoense's strip, are struggling to keep up with demand- one of the local factories does not have enough 'Chapecoense green' fabric to make jerseys for all the Brazilian clubs requesting commemorative editions ahead of the final game of the season.
Umbro acknowledged that demand for the shirts was high as football fans around the world showed their solidarity with the team.
Only three Chapecoense players survived the crash on the eve of their now-cancelled Copa Sudamericana final against local side Atletico Nacional.
UK-based Umbro said it was looking for ways to handle the demand for Chapecoense shirts.
