Chelsea could perhaps count themselves a little unfortunate not to come away with all three points from Sunday afternoon’s north London derby against Tottenham.
The Blues missed the chance to go top of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge as the match ended goalless – despite Frank Lampard‘s side having the more concerted forays into the opposition half.
Whilst most of the openings could only be classified as half-chances, Lampard will likely have been left frustrated by the lack of clinical opportunities created by his team despite dictating much of the play.
Substitute Olivier Giroud almost became the late hero for the second time in a week when the Frenchman was presented with a sight of goal late on, but his effort failed to get the desired loft or direction to beat Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
The point means Chelsea stay third and are two points behind Spurs, who returned to the summit as a result.
