A thrilling game ending 2-2 has kept Tottenham in 5th out of a Champions league place. Arsenal wanted a Chelsea win but a draw still means it is out of Spurs hands to get a top 4 place. If Arsenal win their next two games against Wigan and Newcastle it will put them in a Champions cup place know matter what the results are in Spurs games.
The game started with Chelsea taking the lead form a headed corner form Oscar, Dawson left Cahill with to much space in the box and Cahill headed it to Oscar for a header at the back post.
The next goal then came Tottenhams way, Chelsea turned the ball over and it came to Adebayor who made a run from his own half to the top of the Chelsea box unchallenged, he then took a shot that curled with finesse into the top right hand corner and left Cech standing still with no chance of a save.
There was another goal in the first half and it went to Chelsea. They passed the ball around the Spurs defence and a final ball through to Ramires who hit a toe poke first time into the side netting making it 2-1 going into the second half.
The second half had a lot of chances for both teams to grab a goal especially Chelsea, however Tottenham took the chance for the next goal. A pass to Adebayor (he was offside but it wasn't called) who did a skill full back heel to Sigurdsson, he took a touch and hit the ball clean into the right side netting making it 2-2.
The man of the match was given to Adebayor after his sublime goal and his skilful assist.
The pressure is all on Arsenal to keep their run of form going and win their upcoming games. It looked doubtful that Arsenal would finish ahead of Spurs in the latter half of the season but now it is all down to the Gunners to keep their London rivals waiting another year for the chance to finally finish ahead of Arsenal in what seems like a lifetime ago.
It looks promising that the Gunners will finish in the top four and get their 70 million budget for the summer, if they just preform like they have been the last couple of weeks it shouldn't be a problem. The Premier league is extremely unpredictable however and you can never be sure.
