Chelsea are currently nine points clear of liverpool, who are playing third placed Manchester City. To win 13 games in a row in this league is very difficult. Today is another example.

Through the first half depressing and prompt him came from men in red. The only thing missing, precision. Man city tick the best part of an hour to muster anything matching them. That was Sergio Agueros first shot of the match. It sparked a mini surge. David silva gave and filled its first truly nervous moment but for all the energy there was surprisingly little quality. The Liverpool A Landmark Win which keeps chelsea just within the horizon. Manchester united came from behind against middlesbrough to win 2 1 at old trafford. Paul pogba scored in the 86th minute. It came a minute after Anthony Martial had equalised. Grant leadbitter had given boro a second half lead. Manchester united are still sixth, but level on points with spurs in fifth. Its fantastic. One goal down, when you try to win, then you go, then you gamble a lot to play with one defender against negredo. Two against two is gambling. The players accepted it with courage, that situation of the game. Then we scored and when we scored, i felt the stadium was going down.

Step forward 37 year old kenny miller. Just rewards from rangers, who had started well. But there are reasons celtic are so far ahead in the title race. One of those, the young french striker mousa dembele. Celtic were level. At the start of the second half, only the crossbar stopped him giving celtic the lead. Sinclair off target the follow up. He made amends with 20 minutes to go, with a little help from a rangers defence that had temporarily disappeared. But in an entertaining match, the home side looked dangerous in spells. Miller thought hed levelled late on, the post had other ideas. Disappointment for kenny miller and for rangers, thats how it finished here, celtic very much deserving of their victory.
