Premier League, Week 23: City jump to the top

Chelsea and West Ham drew 0-0 on Wednesday, despite the fact that Chelsea generated 39 shots to West Ham’s one. West Ham played for a point from the beginning and succeeded in their aims. Jose Mourinho was unhappy about Sam Allardyce’s tactics.

Naturally, someone mentioned Mourinho’s comments to Allardyce and his response is classic.

An unbelievable performance from Adrian gave West Ham a point from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea surprisingly slipped up against their London rivals.

Chelsea completely dominated the game and barely gave West Ham a chance to get out of their own half all match, but a string of brilliant blocks and superb saves from the visiting defense and Adrian in goal allowed Sam Allardyce’s men to pick up a potentially valuable point.

It looked like Spurs were heading for a long night right from the off, with Sergio Agüero ghosting past Vlad Chiricheș before smashing the ball against the post after just five minutes. His opener came 10 minutes later, as he made the most of David Silva’s excellent through ball by smartly finishing from a tight angle.

It wasn’t all misery for the improving Spurs, who were given a great boost on the stroke of halftime, as the undoubted star of the match, Agüero, limped off holding his hamstring. Hope, maybe?
