Chelsea Fc is back to winning ways after edging Bournemouth 3 goals to 1 away on Saturday evening to climb back to 11th place and surpass the mythical forty points.
The relegation rule states that the three least performing teams in the premier league get to be relegated while the three most successful teams in the championship get to be promoted in to the premier league. Most coaches and players however believe that it is hard for a team to be relegated after attaining at least 40 points.
While that is only mythical, but has seemed the case from time to time. There are however few teams that have been relegated even after attaining the 40 points mark in a season that all teams seem to perform well. In accordance to the myth Chelsea needed only one point to propel them out of the threat.
Frank Lampard took over as interim manager to help Chelsea finish the league on a higher note but has failed to leave to the expectations losing his first six matches in charge and thus losing out on the one point for more than a month.
Chelsea fans will hope that the fete at Bournemouth can be repeated in the remaining matches but the journey ahead is even harder. Chelsea will travel to Manchester back to back to play the defending Champions Manchester City and Manchester United. The last game will be against Wolves who are below Chelsea on the table.
Connor Gallagher scored first for Chelsea in the ninth minute before Bournemouth equalized. Chelsea defender Badiashille and Chelsea’s loanee from Atletico Madrid were on target in the dying minutes of the game to win the first game in more than two months.
Manchester City continued with their new found dominance at the top of the table as Gundogan struck twice but missed from the spot. Tottenham also managed a narrow win against Crystal Palace courtesy of a Harry Kane goal that takes him to second in all time premier league goal scorer chat.n
