Victor Moses Keeps Chelsea’s Champions League Hope Alive
Nigeria star Victor Moses has received praise from Chelsea after being named man of the match in Thursday’s 2-1 Premier League win against Burnley at Turf Moor, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
Chelsea trail Spurs by five points with just four games remaining but the win kept alive their slim hopes of a late push for the final Champions League slot. I wanted to assist him, but I will do that next time.
“Three important points for us”. He will want to reach the FA Cup final and he will want to stop Southampton from getting revenge for a week ago.
“To see Giroud and Morata, to play in this way and see good combination and link with them and press with and without the ball, this is the right way to have satisfaction in the future”. Staying compact and organised can only prove effective if it is complimented by pressure and aggression; it certainly wasn’t in the first half, Chelsea found it too easy to knock the ball around, rendering Barnes and Woods ineffectual.
Long went even closer in the second half with a swivelling effort which was blocked at point-blank range by Ben Hamer, who was standing in for the injured Kasper Schmeichel in goal.
The Sky Sports pundit was also quick that Chelsea could yet salvage its season and FA Cup is the only way to do that. I understand that and I really want it for the fans. I agree with Le Saux’s assessment that winning the FA Cup trophy would salvage the club’s season, albeit only to an extent.
“We believe in the players we’ve got collectively and individually”. I am looking forward to that. “We have to continue in this way and try to finish the season as strong as possible”.
Chelsea’s victory, added to last Saturday’s success over Southampton, earned them back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since they beat Brighton and Stoke in December. “This was the first time we tried it and we had good responses. We are going to keep fighting until the end”.
