Coleman backs Chelsea for title

FULHAM boss Chris Coleman has backed neighbours Chelsea to be crowned Barclays Premiership champions after Manchester United’s slip-up.

The result means that United missed a chance to close within two points of third-placed Arsenal, who they now trail by four, while they are nine adrift of leaders Chelsea.

“As the game went on, maybe they got a little bit nervous. Obviously it was a fantastic strike which got us the point in the end. For a big guy he’s (Diop) got great technique and obviously that was a great strike,” Coleman said last night.
