4. Chelsea are slowly, but surely, recovering
On the weekend Chelsea picked up a vital three points against Aston Villa in league that will go a long way in their bid to revive their campaign. Although Chelsea’s overall performance wasn’t up to scratch, they took the much-needed victory gratefully. And again last night, Chelsea achieved their goal: not to lose the game.
Taking into account the penalty that should have been awared after a foul inside the box on Cesc Fabregas, Eden Hazard’s chance that hit the post and Willian’s venomous free-kick that struck the bar, Chelsea were indeed unlucky not to come away with a win. With Porto’s 2-0 victory against Tel Aviv, The Blue’s result against Kiev means they sit only a mere point behind the Ukrainian club in Group G.
