Eden Hazard pushes Chelsea nearer to title, Sunderland fans tempt fate

Former Chelsea man Craig Burley breaks down Mourinho's content to sit back and let United play while still picking up all three points. While Eden Hazard, Tim Sherwood and Nigel Pearson are securing maximum points for their respective sides at the most crucial point of the season, things are beginning to get ugly on Merseyside and Tyneside. Heroes Even the Aston Villa fans were uncertain about Tim Sherwood when he first arrived.

Tom Heaton's save from Barkley marked the second botched Everton penalty since the turn of the... http://ift.tt/1Owr6Fm

Luke Shaw believes next season's Premier League title race could be a shoot-out between Manchester United and a Chelsea side that look certain to be crowned as England's new champions imminently. United pushed Chelsea all the way and held sway in all the key passing and possession statistics of what was a tense tactical battle Stamford Bridge on Saturday, but an Eden Hazard goal handed Jose Mourinho's a 1-0 victory that saw them establish an impregnable 10-point lead at the top of the table with... http://ift.tt/1O6nija
