Premier League: Chelsea 1 - 1 Bolton Wanderers
Match reports The Guardian, Dominic Fifield: “Any sense of choking anti-climax which might normally have strangled Chelsea appeared to have eased by the time this squad strolled through their post-match lap of honour in the sunshine. The likelihood of their pursuit of Manchester United yielding the Premier League title had always been slim. In the end [...]
Premier League: Newcastle United 0 - 2 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “Chelsea yet again paced themselves beautifully to stay in step with Manchester United. The reigning champions cannot exactly dread Sunday’s trip to Wigan Athletic when a victory will secure the title on goal difference, but they will go there with a discomfiting sense of claustrophobia because of Avram Grant’s team. [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 2 - 1 Manchester United
Match reports The Observer, Duncan Castles: “First, let us applaud Chelsea. Victory essential, their long, proud unbeaten home record on the line against a team almost every critic considers superior, and deprived of one of their driving forces by the death of his mother, this was a team that rose to the occasion.” Sunday Times, Joe Lovejoy: [...]
Premier League: Everton 0 - 1 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Andy Hunter: “Michael Essien’s first-half goal brought Chelsea a merited win to move them to within two points of Manchester United, albeit having played a game more, and the resilience that thwarted a late revival from David Moyes’ side gave their manager another statistic to throw at his legion of detractors at [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 1 - 1 Wigan Athletic
Match reports The Times, Matt Hughes: “Chelsea got what they deserved after a dreadful first half and a lack of ruthlessness in failing to close down the game after Michael Essien had given them the lead in the 56th minute, and now face the unpalatable prospect of United winning the league at Stamford Bridge on April [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 1 - 0 Middlesbrough
Match reports Daily Telegraph, John Ley: “If Chelsea win the Premier League title they should dismantle the goal at the Shed End of Stamford Bridge and resurrect it in their club museum, alongside Jose Mourinho’s raincoat and Peter Osgood’s shirt, as a standing memorial to the day it earned them three of their most valuable points.” The [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 0 - 0 Liverpool
Match reports Daily Telegraph, John Ley: “On an afternoon of missed opportunities for both sides, Liverpool can at least take solace from their first point away from home against any other of the Big Four under Rafael Benitez. The Spaniard also reaffirmed his ability to frustrate Chelsea’s ambitions as this draw prevented Avram Grant’s team from [...]
Premier League: Derby County 0 - 2 Chelsea
Match reports The Observer, Jamie Jackson: “Chelsea will take the three easy points from this outing against dire opposition, but will be cursing the straight arm that late substitute Michael Essien offered Kenny Miller in added time. The Ghana midfielder was sent off and Avram Grant faces the loss of a key player for three games. [...]
Premier League: Wigan Athletic 0 - 2 Chelsea
Match reports The Observer, Paul Wilson: “No goal feast this time, but Chelsea will be well content with a fourth successive win since the defeats to Aston Villa and Manchester United that bookended the departure of Jose Mourinho. The Special One himself could not have supervised a more convincing recovery.” Sunday Telegraph, Duncan White: “While attention was [...]
Premier League: Manchester United 2 - 0 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “Once United had scored, with Carlos Tevez notching his first goal for the club, Chelsea enjoyed no more than a meaningless rally. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side remembered to keep ample numbers behind the ball and spirited breaks by the visitors petered out, with no genuine saves required of Edwin van [...]
