Chelsea would be title challengers with that intensity
Trending
Chelsea put in a performance which was worthy of defending champions and suggestive of the fact that they were very keen to wipe their opponents out of the title race. It was an absolute pity that they found their rhythm with just three games of the season to go.
The apparent unhappiness of the players under Jose Mourinho was obviously a key factor which contributed to a season which the Chelsea fans will want to get over with as soon as possible.
If they play with that desire and commitment under Antonio Conte, they could well be in the title mix next season. Eden Hazard’s dazzling performance brought a smile back to most onlookers at Stamford Bridge. With no European commitments next time around, Chelsea will see this as an opportunity to put the nightmares of this season behind them and start afresh in the summer of 2016/17.
