Loic Remy saved Chelsea blushes
Loic Remy saved Chelsea blushes by scoring the winning goal that saw them beat Hull City at the KC Stadium.
Diego Costa and Eden Hazard gave Chelsea an early lead within 10 minutes of play in the first half of the game, Ahmed Elmohamady replied Chelsea by putting one inside Chelsea net, few minutes later Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois error caused Chelsea to concede another goal scored by Abel Hernandez.
Hull City dominated Chelsea looking for third goal but Thibaut Courtois saved Chelsea to correct his blunder in the first half.
Jose Mourinho substituted injured striker Diego Costa bringing in Loic Remy who eventually rescued Chelsea to secure all three point after William crossed the ball for the french striker.
Chelsea are now 6 point clear from Manchester City with an outstanding match against Leicester.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho "If you go to half-time playing bad, not creating, not being dynamic, no confidence then you are really worried, when you go to half-time with a 2-2 but the team played so well for 20-25 minutes and its just a question of stability, emotional control, cope with the moment and play and in the second half they played, they played, a difficult situation in the counter-attack when Thibaut Courtois does three saves in a few seconds, it was a nice few seconds, after that we had the ball, we tried everything, so I think we deserved it '
The title race should be over, the title race in normal conditions Chelsea should have 8,10, 12 points more than we have and title race is over, but football is unpredictable and the reality is that six points lead which is our best situation for the whole season because the maximum we had was eight, but when we had eight we had 25 matches to go, 18, 16 and in this moment we have a six-point lead, one game in hand, and this can help us or not, it can help us to have a bigger distance, and with eight matches to go to our opponents, our opponents can make 24 points and if they can make 24 points for us it is just a question of mathematics to see if we can need."
