After a surprising 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Boro yesterday, Chelsea had a perfect opportunity to close the gap to 1 point at St James Park today. Newcastle have won just 7 out of 17 home games this season, and with Chelsea going weeks without conceding, it seemed certain Mourinho would capatalise on the red’s mistake.
However, with not a single shot on target, Chelsea played out a dull 0-0 draw. Newcastle’s Kieran Dyer came the closest to scoring, forcing a great save by keeper Cech.
Manchester United have been handed a get out of jail free card, after surely feeling they had blown their chances yesterday. The difference in points is still the same as before the weekend, however now there is one less game to go.
Have Chelsea blown their chance to keep the title at Stamford Bridge?
