Chelsea bagged a controversial 1-2 victory away at relegation strugglers Cardiff City on Sunday.The Blues had to dig deep to clinch a highly-important three-pointer thanks to two super late goals from Cesar Azpilucueta and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Most importantly, the Blues took what they needed form Cardiff City Stadium. They kept ground on Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal in the battle for the top-four finish and a place in the Champions League next season. These four teams are all within a single-point range battling it out for two spots inside the top-four.
