Chelsea kept their hopes of Champions League qualification alive after a tense 1-0 win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
The win was secured via a headed goal from Olivier Giroud in the 32nd minute and even though Liverpool started brightly and dominated possession, we held on to the clean sheet.
The win keeps us in fifth place but we can match the same point tally as Liverpool if we win our game in hand against Huddersfield.
Should Liverpool not win their final game of the season against Brighton, we can make it to the top-four as long as we pick up maximum points from our final two games.
A top-four spot would not have looked likely in the last two weeks or so but Antonio Conte seems to have gotten things right and hopefully, there will be a lot to celebrate at the end of the season.
Twitter was lit with a lot of comments and here are some of the best reactions to the 1-0 win.
WHAT A WIN!

Chelsea have only conceded one goal in the four games since Cahill came into the centre of their three man defence. Azpi and Rudi have been excellent of late too. #CFC #CHELIV stream

He is rightly recognised as this league’s hottest burning star of the season, but Mo Salah has been completely anonymous today at Chelsea. Might even have had a second yellow for another simulation. Maybe he’s allergic to Stamford Bridge?

So finally after one season of watching the same state of Chelsea, the commentator goes “Hazard unable to benefit from the same accuracy that he provides to others.”

Bakayoko with the best performance in a Chelsea shirt as of yet, he could be lethal for us next season under a different minded manager. Hope he keeps it up.

Why didn’t Chelsea sign Giroud at the start of the szn ffs. Would’ve won the league

Giroud has quickly become a Chelsea cult legend.

Giroud headed straight to Luiz. I sense a classic Chelsea player coup d’état.
