Indeed Chelsea left it really late to grab the 3 points against Everton at Stamford Bridge this weekend. A high intensity game which was ultimately decided by a solitary goal. By the way they played specially in the latter half of the game Chelsea deserved to win this but the defeat was a little tough on Roberto Martinez and his men. They gave it their all and pushed Chelsea to the limit. It's tough for any team against Jose Mourinho's side at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League and it is proven by the fact that now his unbeaten streak as BPL manager at the Bridge is 74 games. That is one hell of a ridiculous record. But Everton did go for the goals in the first half only to be denied by the Chelsea defense.
This was the sort of game where experience mattered more than talent for both sides. Players like Terry, Lampard & Distin played a crucial crucial role in keeping their team in the game. And it was ultimately Lampard & Terry who combined to get 3 very important points for the Blues. The Chelsea defense was again at it's very best with Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry & Azpilicueta. Cesar Azpilicueta is turning out to be one of the best LB's of the season, performing exceptionally well and doing all that a great left back needs to do. Matic played the role of a CM perfectly yet again and he is growing from strength to strength. The problem was with Chelsea's strike force yet again. Even the creative midfielders weren't at their best in the game. Oscar getting a knock didn't help the cause. This is the time of the season where squad depth will come into play and players like Schurrle and Salah will have important roles to play.
Getting a result out of somewhere that's what champion teams do and that's what Chelsea did yesterday, they somehow managed a late goal and got the 3 points to secure the pole position in the league and that's all that matters ultimately.
