Match Report


The tension always there when the Big Four clash,and this game is no different.

Ballack fired a dangerous free-kick at 5th minute,but Almunia did a great save to deny home team a lead.

10 minutes later,it's our turn to have a chance to score.However,Persie's shot just went wide.I guess he still finding his touch.

At 16th minute,Ballack again shot a shot but again,Almunia saved the attack.

Terry's sudden pass to Drogba at 24th minute could be Blues' best chance to score,but Drogba did not finish it well into our goal.

At 38th minute,Gallas could be scoring 2nd time against his former team but it just went to post.But anyway,it was offside.

Two minutes later,complication happened in front of our goal;lots of players trying to get the ball,but fortunately the ball went away from our goal.

Overall,Chelsea had a better game than us.We again lacked creativity,and again it's hard to attack against a great defending team without counter-attacking.

2nd half


At 54th minute,Drogba could score with one to one chance but Gallas did a good job to defend against him.

Arsenal scored first at 58th minute,when Sagna headed from a corner-kick to make Gunners lead with 1-0 score against Chelsea.

Ashley Cole had a chance to score an equaliser at 60th minute but his header was just too wide from the goal.

Ballack put his last shot before he's substituted but Almunia again denied his chance.At 71st minute,Blues equalised with his superb shot and Almunia can't do anything about this shot.4 minutes later,Anelka too put a hot but his attempt was just too poor.

Drogba again became our killer when he scored the winning goal to make Chelsea lead with 2-1 score.This goal was too,from his great shot.

Chelsea continued the possession,and we were just too weak to score any goals now.


Overall


Chelsea deserved to win this game.They had more possession,and Drogba factor again played a huge role over our 2nd lost game so far this season.

We can't score even when we had the control,and when we were dominated,the chances to score are microscopic.

And our Title chance is microscopic too.
