Chelsea One more match to GO

After a draw against Arsenal at the Emirates, Chelsea needed just 6 more points to close the race for the title. they had to face Leicester and then Crystal Places. Last night Chelsea beat Leicester 3-1 leaving them only Crystal Places to win the title.

For the match last night, it was a difficult one in the first half but for the second half Chelsea went on up. The perfect start to the second half showed the team's spirit and preceded some wonderful football, according to Jose Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho's side needed to call on all their reserves of quality and resilience to overcome Leicester City's fiercely determined challenge which earned them a deserved first-half lead through Marc Albrighton.

Didier Drogba restored equality early in the second half and further goals from captain John Terry and Ramires wrapped up a win that was testimony to the qualities that have put Chelsea on the brink of glory

This defeat ends Leicester's run of four straight wins that has lifted them out of the relegation places but there was enough contained within this display to maintain manager Nigel Pearson's belief that they will retain their Premier League status.

For only the second time this season (in all competitions) they trailed at half-time, but within three minutes of the restart Chelsea levelled against an in-form Leicester side courtesy of a clinical Didier Drogba finish.

For Chelsea and manager Jose Mourinho, only the formalities remain to be completed as he moved towards his third title at Stamford Bridge, the first of his second spell in charge, after claiming the Capital One Cup earlier this season. 

What do you think will Chelsea finish the job this Sunday ?? Comment below.
