Chelsea widens Premiership lead with 2-0 win
Chelsea went seven points clear at the top of the Premier League on Tuesday
after Didier Drogba scored both goals in a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough and
champions Arsenal could only scramble a 1-1 draw with Manchester City.
Chelsea, chasing their first league title for 50 years, also made ground on third-placed Manchester United, who were held to a highly controversial 0-0 home draw by Tottenham Hotspur. United keeper Roy Carroll fumbled a 90th minute long-range shot from Spurs midfielder Pedro Mendes, television pictures showed the ball had crossed the line by nearly a metre but Carroll scooped the ball back out and no goal was awarded. Everton, lying fourth, beat Portsmouth 2-1 and Bolton Wanderers registered their first win since October by beating Birmingham City by the same scoreline. Chelsea's fifth consecutive win since the week before Christmas left them top on 55 points, followed by Arsenal (48), United (44) and Everton (43).
