Aston Villa vs Chelsea Highlights: EPL Highlights

Nicolas Anelka struck the woodwork for Chelsea as Aston Villa maintained their impressive home record against Chelsea. Anelka could have earned the Blues only their second league win in the last 12 visits to Villa Park but his downward header from Ashley Cole’s header bounced up and managed to hit the crossbar.

It would have been a harsh result for Villa who had done enough to earn at least a share of the spoils and should themselves have won the game in injury time as Nigel Reo-Coker shot wide when one-on-one with keeper Petr Cech.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Highlights: EPL Highlights

After handing Chelsea the title on Friday, Roberto Mancini watched his Manchester City side easily snatch it away again as Carlos Tevez’s second-half strike ended Blue’s unbeaten campaign with a 1-0 win.

In a match which was largely dominated by defenses Tevez’s moment of inspiration just before the hour proved to be decisive. Chelsea were unable to halt the City inspirational skipper’s run from halfway and he found the perfect finish too, through Ashley Cole’s legs and in to the post.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men worked hard to force an equaliser, but, just as they had done for most of the contest, they failed to open up a disciplined City defense and came no nearer than the header Branislav Ivanovic struck the bar with before half-time.

The result signalled City can join Manchester United and Arsenal in harbouring genuine hopes of glory next May.
