This weekend was really a good one for Chelsea. Besides Arsenal, every other team in the top six dropped points. Liverpool lost to Swansea, Manchester City drew with Tottenham, while Manchester United drew with Stoke City.
All was set for Chelsea to win Hull City and extend the gap at the top of the table, which Chelsea did, after beating Hull 2-0.
Chelsea play Liverpool next in the league and then Arsenal, which makes Gary Cahill more excited about the victory.
“It was a good weekend for us before we kicked a ball today
“When you get opportunities in the season, they don’t come around too often and you have to try and capitalise on them. With the win we did that.
“When it’s 1-0 late on in the game anything can happen. They gave it a big go.
“I was lucky to get on the end of the cross from Cesc [Fabregas] and the cushion was there then.
“I see a healthy gap for us. We were determined to keep the gap there.
“It’s a big two or three weeks coming up for us. We’ve got over the first hurdle and we’ve got two massive games coming up [against Liverpool and Arsenal].
“We wanted to go into those games with a gap.”
