The game is over and the peace has return to our house. Mainly for the reason that Chelsea won, as I'm less "forgiven" than Mr Footy.
It was a great game in my opinion. I was very nervous trough the whole game until that blast for Alex.
The game started very nervous and fast paced. Arsenal started a bit better and missed a golden opportunity when Koscielny headed a great cross over the bar. The game kept going with Arsenal attacking a bit more than Chelsea, but we defended well every time they got into our side of the pitch.
At the end of the first half the first goal was scored by of course, Deadly Drog! It could not have been different, he has scored 13 goals in 13 games against Arsenal and we won't want that to change now. A great pass from Ramires to Ashley Cole who fired across the goal to Drogba with a lovely finish, off the near post into the goal!
I was watching the game by myself as Mr Footy went to the pub (we can't watch Chelsea-Arsenal together) so I jumped up and down in happiness and relief ! The first half was over. And at this point I just wanted the game to over.
A bit more of the same at the second half. Arsenal had more of the possession but no clear goal opportunities. We were trying to counter attack them and it was working. Ashley Cole scored but it was offside and Anelka missed a sitter after getting around Fabianski. I though we were going to have a nervous ending but a fault on Anelka. We all though Drogba was going to take it but Alex did. Malouda created a space in the wall for Alex to smash a stunning powerful free kick in the top corner ! Beautiful ! So that was it, game over !
Chelsea played well and we defended superbly. Arsenal had a good game but it was not enough. The wasted opportunities, and could not find a goal. Possession is worth nothing if you don't create goal opportunities with it.
Great performance by Ramires and Ashley Cole. Also, solid defence job by Terry, Alex and Ivanovic. Of course, let's not forget Deadly Drog, deadly as usual !
Chelsea now leads 4 points of second place Man City and I can go into the international break with a smile on my face. I'll be nice though and I won't blag about it at home, just here ! :)
In other news, Man United drew with Suderland, which is brilliant for us and a big surprise (not that big actually), Liverpool lost to Blackpool at home? Who would at though? Any Liverpool fan want to tell me what is going on there?
Have a great week !!!
Mrs Footy (THE CHAMPION) :)
