Chelsea’s hopes of winning the Premier League were dealt a serious blow after Sunderland recorded a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues had the chance to move to the top of the table and pile the pressure on Liverpool, who travel to Norwich on Sunday.
Everything looked to be going according to plan when Samuel Eto’o volleyed into the roof of the net following a Willian corner.
However, the Black Cats were soon level after Connor Wickham, who
scored twice against Manchester
City in midweek, was first to a rebound
following Mark Schwarzer’s save from Marcos Alonso.
And things went from bad to worse for the Blues on the 82nd minute as
Sunderland took the lead, with on-loan Liverpool man Fabio Borini
netting a penalty against his former club after Cesar Azpilicueta had
brought down Jozy Altidore.
The Black Cats remain bottom of the table despite the win, but are now just three points adrift of safety.
Chelsea currently no longer have the title in their own hands, while
the result brings an end to Jose Mourinho’s undefeated record at home in
the Premier League.
