Blues back on track despite Drogba’s miss

DIDIER DROGBA may have missed a golden opportunity to end his club’s Premier League crisis after seeing a 90th-minute penalty saved at White Hart Lane but Chelsea still left north London with an overwhelming sensation that a corner had been turned both in their season and in the title race.

On the face of it, a 1-1 draw leaves Tottenham in fifth place and Chelsea only four points above them in fourth following a miserable run that now extends to only one league victory in their last seven matches.

But the overall performance of Carlo Ancelotti’s under-pressure side after he controversially left Drogba on the bench suggests some of the club’s problems are starting to be resolved.
