Chelsea get what they came for

ARSENAL 0 CHELSEA 0: John Terry’s animated celebrations at the final whistle, set against a backdrop of chants of ‘boring, boring Chelsea’ from the home supporters encapsulated this game. 

Chelsea had got exactly what they had come for and while their display rarely inspired, they demonstrated why they will be champions.

Even if Arsenal had managed to find a way to break down a defence marshalled superbly by Terry, they would only have had the slimmest of chances of closing the gap on Jose Mourinho’s side during the last five games of the season.
