Liverpool 0-2 Chelsea
Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea are now just three points away from the Premier League title after a comfortable win at Anfield against Liverpool.
In what was expected to be a tough test of Chelsea’s title credentials, the Blues – buoyed by their destruction of Stoke last weekend – overcame their northern opponents to maintain their lead at the Premier League summit.
Tonight after a very long wait since the Semi Final victory over Blackburn Rovers the Chelsea youth team finally take to the pitch for the first leg of the FA Youth Cup semi Final. The cup run has definately been very special. First we came up against Charlton Athletic a game which we dominated but couldn’t put to bed and which we conceeded the only goal we have conceeded in the run. Next up was Nottingham Forest and this game was completely different and our dominance told with a 4 – 0 victory. After the big win over Forest we had a frustrating game against Portsmouth in which we only won 1 – 0 but it was amazing that we didn’t score a lot more. Next up was another big 4 – 0 win, this time against Watford. Watford couldn’t cope with a Chelsea team that had grown together and was working as a strong unit and playing wonderful football. Then came the tough Semi Final against Blackburn, even though again we had the dominance during the game we could only manage a 1 – 0 win to make the second leg in our hands but tight, however come the second leg at the bridge there was no problems and the best display of the run saw us score another 4 goals and progress into the final.
Chelsea 7-0 Stoke
Chelsea returned to the top of the Premier League after destroying Stoke at Stamford Bridge.
Salomon Kalou scored his first Blues hat-trick, and Frank Lampard’s brace brought his season’s tally to a career best 25 goals. Further goals from substitute Daniel Sturridge and the in-form Florent Malouda ensured a record top-flight home victory for Carlo Ancelotti’s title-chasers.
Tottenham 2-1 Chelsea
Chelsea’s title ambitions took a massive blow thanks to goals from Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale as Tottenham won a crucial London derby.
Tottenham took a deserved lead when Defoe blasted home after John Terry had hand-balled in the area, and Gareth Bale then scored a second to effectively seal the victory before half-time.
