A records breaking season for Chelsea
The final day 8-0
demolition of Wigan Athletic just captured what Chelsea under Carlo
Ancelotti have done all season; score a bucketful of goals.
The Blues scored
seven goals respectively against Sunderland, Aston Villa, and Stoke
City, but capped all that with a magnificent eight over hapless Wigan,
who stood no chance after defender Gary Caldwell, was dismissed for
fouling in the box.
The eight goals
helped them become the first club after another London club, Tottenham
Hotspur, to score over 100 goals in a season. Tottenham’s haul in 1963
was when 42 games were played in a season.
Carlo Ancelotti has
forged an attacking team that helped the likes of Florent Malouda and
Salomon Kalou to improve their goals tally.
Commenting on
Chelsea’s triumph, the Italian said, “The most important thing is to
win but I think we’ve found the right way to win playing good football,
showing good fair play and have given joy to the fans that saw our
team,” he told Reuters after the last game.
Chelsea won the
league with just a point over Manchester United; but they did score a
load of goals. The chant now is no more boring Chelsea, thanks to
Ancelotti.
