Chelsea was held to a disappointing goal less draw by Hull City on Saturday in front of home crowd at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea squanderer a number of crucial chances in the match, but failed to pick up three points from the match. John Terry went very close to score early in the match, but he failed to keep the ball on the target, while a Michael Ballack free-kick hit the post. However, Luiz Felipe Scolari’s boys can feel lucky that they could successfully finished the game with a point earned, because Chelsea could have lost the match too, unless Hull City did not miss some good scoring opportunities. Hull City’s Kevin Kilbane failed to score from a close range header which hit the post.
With this draw, Chelsea has slipped further in their pursuit to win the title as they moved down to the fourth place with 49 points, 2 points adrift of third placed Aston Villa who defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-0 on the road on Saturday. So, Chelsea is now four-point behind leader Manchester United and they have played two games more than United. So, it is pretty much certain that Chelsea’s title hope has been put under huge uncertainty.
