However, blue remains the absolute dominance of the land in the championship, have already scored 32 goals against none allowed in their last matches. Moreover - Cech not pull the ball from his net whole 580 minutes.
Just as expected the battle of Stamford Bridge began with domestic pressures and in the fifth minute Chelsea could now lead by 1:0. Essien once again showed his incredible vision and put in the penalty area Ashley Cole, whose diagonal shot, however, passed about half a meter from the crossbar.
What was not expected, however, were the next two positions that were in front of Cech. In the 8-minute Whitehead double combined with Kenuin Jones, then by the arc of the penalty area shot powerfully, but Cech saved. In the next attack Walters was unmarked in the Blue penalty and try from ten meters to transfer goalkeeper of the hosts, but sent the ball over the crossbar.
Explosive start was followed by blasting Drogba breakthrough in the 10th minute and Shoukros failed to stop him, and then fouled in the penalty area and referee was explicit - a penalty for Chelsea. Lampard stood behind the ball, but the midfielder shot low and close to Sorensen, who saved.
The pressure of Chelsea is tightening, but the next 15 minutes, Londoners have reached only one header of Essien, who passed over the crossbar and was not at all safe.
The goal was fact after the 32-minutes efforts finally rewarded the champions. Terry took one ball in midfield, forward and put Malouda against Sorensen as for the midfielder of was not a problem to send the ball into the net.
After the hit hosts calmed down and they slightly weakened the pressure and by the end of halftime was just one more serious situation. Just before the extension, Cole centered but Drogba failed to detect. Then the ball was returned again into the penalty area where Lampard from the white point shoots, but too imprecise.
The second half continued in the style of the first, pressure with Chelsea. Logically, in the 50th minute came another opportunity to score in front of guests - Anelka centered nice in the penalty area and there on the border of the small penalty Drogba powerful head striked, but failed to steer the ball well and then sent right to Sorensen.
Two minutes later, events turned and finally became hot in front of Cech. Goalkeeper of the hosts failed to intervene adequately in a cross and then Eteringtan fired dangerous but defender cellars right in front goal line.
Stoke waiting for his chance to counterattack. And it came in 67 th minute when Glen Uilan progressed and from 25 meters send a projectile to Cech, the goalkeeper just look how the ball slammed beam and dropped to goal line.
Londoners were startled again and tightened the circle, which has already resulted in 77-minute, when the intrigue was killed.
