Carried by halftime Leicester, the Blues have made a nice second period to win 1-3 at King Power Stadium, and yet one step closer to a title acquired.
Pride champion. A trait shared by José Mourinho, Didier Drogba and John Terry, and forms almost the DNA of Chelsea. Stung after a rain Comment "Boring Chelsea" and a sterile first period when Albrighton eventually punish, the Blues have relied on their two eternal legionaries to put them back on the path to success, and allow them to finger the fifth title in the club's history champion.
Albrighton, the stab
The kickoff is given in the pouring rain in a King Power Stadium boosted by the prospect of seeing his team make a step towards the maintenance. Quickly Vardy trying to do his speed, but recovered well near the surface Ivanović. While in place, the Foxes recover many balls in midfield and this time Vardy tries his luck from distance, but it goes over the cage Blues exceptionally guarded by Petr Čech. Incredibly passes first line, Cambiasso Ulloa then alert the box, but his compatriot loses control. The Blues are trying to react, Willian, author of an impressive rush down the left wing, but the recovery of Drogba, yet served, is completely missed it. Nigel Pearson's players are block, but lose in quick succession, Andy King and Robert Huth injured. The leader then takes the ball and connects the possession phases facing an opponent follower of a long and direct play to Jamie Vardy. Found in the area, Drogba looks back, but his shot misses the uprights. The Blues maintain pressure and lack little to open the scoring after a corner played by two, mainly because of a Cahill missing by a hair the ball. With few opportunities, the Foxes while trying their luck from distance, but the attempt to Drinkwater as flies. That's when the locals decide to fire. On a resumption Vardy Čech came out a stop elsewhere before his defense is blocking the resumption of Albrighton. This is only a postponement. In stoppage time, Vardy, always him, launched in depth, center back to Albrighton who blew fans of a winning resume (1-0, 45th).
Drogba, Terry, the guardians of the temple
The Blues back on the lawn with much better intentions, and he did not need two minutes to equalize Drogba, closely following a good job Ivanović right side (1-1, 47th). Stung, Mourinho's men rushed to the attack, but found by Fàbregas, this time Drogba sends his volley into the clouds. On an exceptional new déboulé Willian, then the inevitable lack Fàbregas alone in front of goal, by missing the ball. Although more assertive and enterprising, the Blues combine perfectly right, and Willian, very active, multiplies the centers of Schmeichel in goal. Launched in depth, Drogba crossed his shot too, while Willian, one to twenty meters, sees his attempt to pass over. The pace drops slightly then the long balls succeeding the sterile heads in both camps. Although Ramires warms hearts with a shot from outside the area, region, providing a corner for the Blues. An important corner, which benefits John Terry to give a decisive advantage to Chelsea (1-2, 79th). A goal that frees men of Jose Mourinho, before Ramires, yet borrowed for 80 minutes, sends a missile into the top corner of the left helplessly Schmeichel (1-3, 83). After a final meeting of ten passes, the Blues may have a smile. And give appointment Sunday at Stamford Bridge, to formalize a title acquired.
While macht between Christal Palace and Manchester city just ended with a victory of Crystal Palace (2:1) that deprives de facto Manchester City a second title and accentuates the way to the coronation for Chelsea with a game in hand.

BALOTELLI REFUSES TO PLAY
Liverpool into stagnation after an ugly defeat and four goals conceded against Arsenal, faces the new caprice of his Italian striker. Balo has indeed refused to take part in the last meeting of the club.

"The Northern Irishman then explained" that the medical staff had not considered the player, the pain is just something that Mario felt. "
Funny period, so for Super Mario who has scored only four goals in 25 games this season. Far from Pistolero ...
However,nothing can proof us that if Balotelli was there Liverpool could play better.
