Chelsea draw with Newcastle the lead and says goodbye

Chelsea draw with Newcastle the lead and says goodbye
Chelsea failed to make the tie in the area of Newcastle (1-1), Sunday in the 15 th day of the Premiership, but managed to score a point which places him second in the table to two units of the new leaders Manchester United and Arsenal tied with (3 ยบ)


The striker Andy Carroll opened the scoring for Newcastle in the sixth minute, before the Ivorian Salomon Kalou equalized for Chelsea at the end of the first part (45) in a field covered with snow.


The game of the''Blues''was disappointing, with Ivory Coast star Didier Drogba is still very far from his best football, but the London team did manage some clear chances in the second part that did not materialize.


Chelsea showed mainly lack of confidence in both defense and attack and Carroll's goal was the result of a serious error in the pass between the Brazilian Alex and the Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech, who used to mark the empty goal.


Kalou, despite his goal is in 45, also had a good afternoon and missed a clear goal ten minutes from time.


Despite this equality, the situation remains worrying Chelsea after defeats against Sunderland (0-3) and Birmingham (0-1).


"It was difficult at first because we made a mistake, but react. I thought we played well but we lacked luck. But it is true that in four games we have scored just one goal and it is not enough," coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted after the draw.


Italian men are now under pressure from Manchester United, the new leader after its 7-1 thrashing at Blackburn on Saturday.


In that game the Bulgarian Dimitar Berbatov made history in the Premier League with five goals, a record that puts him at the height of legends like Alan Shearer, Andy Cole and Jermaine Defoe.


In addition to the many Bulgarian (min (2, 27, 47, 62 and 70) completed the rout South Korea's Park Ji-sung (23) and Portugal's Nani (48). The goal of honor was scored for Blackburn in the final stages of the match (83) French Veijeany Christopher Samba.


Defeated Arsenal 4-2 on Saturday at Aston Villa. The Gunners manager Arsene Wenger French prevailed thanks to goals from Russia's Andrey Arshavin, the Frenchman Samir Nasri, Moroccan Marouane Chamakh and English Jack Wilshere.


This victory is a balm for the Gunners''''after a bad week, which fell against the Portuguese Braga (2-0), on Tuesday in the Champions League in a defeat that puts them on the ropes in European competition.


In other matches Saturday, Manchester City failed to make the draw against Stoke (1-1) and is now fourth.
