da roleta: Chelsea boss Andre Villas Boas has admitted that his side’s 1-1 draw with Fulham is another dent in the club’s ambitions to win the Premier League title.
Juan Mata’s opener early in the second half was cancelled out by a Clint Dempsey strike soon after, as the Stamford Bridge outfit could not find a winner against their London rivals.
The result means that the gap between Chelsea and Manchester City is still 11 points, a deficit that Villas Boas knows will be difficult to claw back.
“The title will be pretty difficult now,” the Portuguese coach told Sky Sports.
“The distance by the end of today could make it very hard for us to challenge for the title.
“It would have been a good December for us if we’d finished with six points from two home games, but taking this draw into account it makes it difficult now.
“There is no big drama in how we change our perspective but you have to be realistic.
“Unexpectedly we reduced the gap to seven points a few weeks ago but with Manchester City continuing to pick up points, as well as Manchester United, it makes it difficult,” he stated.
Out-of-form striker Fernando Torres replaced Didier Drogba in attack, and Villas Boas was pleased with the contribution of the Spanish forward.
“Drogba has been involved in every fixture since November apart from Carling Cup game.
“We decided to bring in Fernando who has been working well and he did well for the team and assisted Mata for the goal.
“He showed the same level of commitment as he has been in training in today’s game so I was happy,” he concluded.
Chelsea now take on Aston Villa at home on New Years Eve.
