Chelsea all but squandered any chance they had of making the Champions League next season as they were held to a dismal 1-1 draw with lowly Huddersfield, who secured their safety at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea reignited their hopes of Champions League qualification with an Olivier Giroud header helping the Blues to a 1-0 win over high-flying Liverpool.

Chelsea booked their place in next month’s FA Cup final against Manchester United with a comprehensive 2-0 win against Southampton on Sunday.

The aforementioned Brazilian came closest to […]

One of Chelsea’s best performances this season, and yet Barcelona ran out convincing 3-0 winners in the second leg of a Champions League round of 16 encounter, a game that was ultimately defined by individual errors over collective excellence. Olivier Giroud’s selection to lead the line seemed to only suggest good things before kick-off, but […]
Chelsea picked up a much-needed three points in a game that was more one-sided than the scoreline suggests.

Chelsea showed little to no fight as a second-half goal from Bernardo Silva ensured that Man City deservedly took all three points at the Etihad Stadium.
