Another setback for Wenger as his team, Arsenal are dropped to the third position after they lost to Bolton 2-1 in an thrashing encounter! A late goal from the Bolton player through the header swallowed all the hopes of the Gunners fans and they were unable to hold their 2nd position and they are now out of the title race. Their only hope for silverware this season was this competition…and now they have lost their hands from this also!
Meanwhile, Chelsea clinched an easy win against West Ham with Torres scoring his first goal for the club and that helped them to go up to the 2nd Position. Chelsea who had some bad moments on the field for some months now, finally managed to improve their run and its never too late as they are still partially in the title race!
After 3-months of signning a contract with the Blues, Torres finally managed to score his first goal for Chelsea this weekend against West Ham. The goal came from the Spainaird just after 8-mins when he was subbed in for Drogba! He admitted that this goal has lifted a lot of pressure off his shoulders and that now he can enjoy more time in the pitch! Torres insisted he had never got disheartened by the tough start to his Chelsea career, but admitted he owed the fans that goal.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti was very pleased and admitted that this goal will give him a new flying start! Chelsea managed to defeat West Ham by 3-0, and this win puts them above Arsenal at 2nd position, and now they need a win to equal the points with the Chelsea.
There is only one manager in the world who achieved a record that no manager can ever achieve! Streak of 168 unbeaten home league wins! And the only manager to achieve that is Jose Mourinho, 'The Special One'!
But last night this record came to an end by the club who is fighting to keep itself above the relegation zone, Sporting Gijon! And a remarkable achievement for any manager to have and that only manager is Mourinho!
Lets take a look at the stats which achieved him to achieve this emphatic record!
2004/05 Chelsea
Premier League: 14 wins, 5 draws, Champions League: 4 wins, 2 draws, FA Cup: 2 wins, League Cup: 1 win, 1 draw.
2005/06 Chelsea
Premier League: 18 wins, 1 draw, Champions League: 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, FA Cup: 4 wins, League Cup: 1 draw.
2006/07 Chelsea
Premier League: 12 wins, 7 draws, Champions League: 5 wins, 1 draw, FA Cup: 3 wins, 1 draw, League Cup: 2 wins.
2007/08 Chelsea
Premier League: 2 wins, 1 draw, Champions League: 1 draw.
2008/09 Inter Milan
Serie A: 14 wins, 5 draws, Champions League: 2 wins, 2 draws, Coppa Italia: 3 wins.
2009/10 Inter Milan
Serie A: 15 wins, 4 draws, Champions League: 4 wins, 2 draws, Coppa Italia: 3 wins.
2010/11 Real Madrid (till Saturday's loss to Sporting Gijon)
La Liga: 14 wins, Champions League: 4 wins, Copa del Rey: 4 wins.
From his first game at Chelsea right up to the most recent match against Sporting Gijon, Mourinho has lost once in 168 home games. That is a record that most managers can only dream of, yet the Special One can lay claim to this feat. In this time, Mourinho has also landed two Premier League titles, two English League Cups, an FA Cup, two Serie A titles, a Coppa Italia and a Champions League trophy.

Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli admitted that selling Fernando Torres to Chelsea was a good idea! Liverpool sold Torres to Chelsea this January for £50million to Chelsea. Some thought that this move was a big mistake by Liverpool that time but Liverpool DOF thinks otherwise! As according to him, they were able to sell out-of-form for a huge money, and they used that money buying Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez. Which proved to be very beneficial for the Reds! And considering the current situation, he might be right as Torres is still goal-less at Chelsea! Torres managed just nine goals in 26 games for the Reds earlier this season.

Chelsea overtook Man City at Stamford Bridge as well as in Premier League Table! Liuz a 25-Million signing this January has been a star of the night again and proved to be a crucial signing for the Blues, as he scored the first goal of the game which gave Chelsea a confidence and lifted their game and then at last minute, Ramires struck another goal. Final score: 2-0! This result gave three points to Chelsea and they are now at the third position in Barclay Table!
Citizens started the game well and posed as a great deal of danger for the home side but after around 15 minutes or so, Chelsea woke up and started controlling the game. For last 10-15 minutes of the first half, Chelsea attacked consistently at the visitor's goal. Man City were without their best striker, Teves, as he failed to pass a fitness test today! Meanwhile Chelsea were without Drogba and Anelka, but they both were subbed in the game at 70th minute taking off Florent Malouda and Fernando Torres...which followed by many 'boooos' from the home crowd and they were certainly at the Ancelotti's decision for taking Torres off
