Video Chelsea won without trembling Stoke City ( 2-0) Monday night in the last game of the 17th day of the Premier League, has taken three points clear at the top of the Premier League over second placed Manchester City. Owner, Eden Hazard was released in end of the match through injury.
Chelsea is still the boss. Despite the pressure born of the victory of City Crystal Palace on Saturday, which has replaced the Citizens for 48 hours at the same height as the Blues in the standings, despite the last two away games without a win in the league (draw at Sunderland, defeat to Newcastle), Chelsea won with impressive ease Monday during a trip that had yet all of the trap.
Fabregas Man of the Match
So it has taken two minutes to John Terry to open the scoring with a header after a corner from Fabregas (0-1 2). Terry is the 13th Blues player to score in the Premier League this season. No other team better. And Fabregas is already in its 12th decisive pass in the league this season. And again, nobody does it better. The Spanish international was also the man of the match for Chelsea since he who scored the second goal for his team with a great individual concatenation (0-2, 78) and with an assist from Eden Hazard. Note that the Belgian, shot in the ankle, was replaced by Kurt Zouma very end of the game. We do not know the severity of the injury. Thibaut Courtois, who found his place in the London nets, has released several balloons, including a shooting N’Zonzi deflected by Terry at the 21st.
The hole is made
took command of the game so early, José Mourinho’s players especially could then control the rest of the game, without spending too much energy or grant opportunities. They never really in danger, except perhaps on the judgment of Courtois (85) or the shot Bojan (90 + 6). And if Diego Costa was a little more clever, the score could have been even wider.
That Chelsea leads the Premier League at Christmas. A position that is perfect for Mourinho and his men. Manchester City is only three points but the hole is made with the rest as Manchester United, held in check at Aston Villa (1-1) on Saturday, is already 10 lengths. Mano a mano between Chelsea and Manchester City will continue at the Boxing Day, which will see Chelsea receive surprising 4th, West Ham and Manchester City travel to West Bromwich 15th.
