Sports 247 – The competition lacked motivation and creativity, but with luck and errors from the referee, Chelsea still won all 3 points at Cardiff’s field.

VIDEO: Highlight Cardiff vs Chelsea

Coming as a guest to Cardiff’s field in a situation where they were extremely thirsty for points, Chelsea coach Sarri suddenly put Eden Hazard, N’golo Kante and Hudson-Odoi on the bench, and that immediately upset the Blues.

On the other side of the battle line, it was the home team Cardiff who played more clearly.

Entering the second half, Cardiff suddenly accelerated and the goal immediately came to them.

Excited after the goal, Cardiff continued to press and create tremendous pressure on Chelsea’s goal, while on the opposite side, coach Sarri’s team played as if they had no motivation.

In the most difficult moment, Chelsea suddenly got an equalizer.

Tragedy struck host Cardiff in the first minute of injury time, when Loftus Cheek headed Etheridge’s net, sealing a dramatic 2-1 victory for Chelsea.

Squad:

Cardiff: Etheridge;

General perception

With only 28 points, 5 points behind the safety group, Cardiff will really have to fight to the end in the remaining rounds to hope to stay in the Premier League next season.

Although the situations of the two teams on the rankings are relatively opposite, both are facing losses in their own races.

Chelsea will definitely launch their strongest squad when the Premier League is now their most important arena.
