Chelsea savour title triumph





Chelsea players celebrate with the Barclays Premier League trophy after Chelsea win the title with a 8-0 victory over Wigan Athletic in the English Premier League match at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea finished the season one point ahead of 2009 champions, Manchester United. AFP



LONDON (AFP) - Carlo Ancelotti backed his Chelsea squad to rule English football for years to come after Didier Drogba and company wrested the Premier League title back from Manchester United in the Italian's first season in charge.
An 8-0 thrashing of Wigan on Sunday ensured that Chelsea pipped the defending champions by a single point.


The emphatic conclusion to the season meant the former AC Milan boss was also able to celebrate a Premier League record of 103 goals as well as membership of an exclusive club of managers who have got the better of his United counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson.


"It's fantastic, we did our best and I did my best for this club," Ancelotti said after delivering a triumph that eluded Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Guus Hiddink, the men who tried but failed to fill the gap left by Jose Mourinho's departure from the club.


"It's been a great Premier League season and I think in the end we deserved to come out on top."


United did their job by beating Stoke 4-0 at Old Trafford but there was never any prospect of Chelsea falling at the final hurdle.


Ancelotti's men will now seek to complete a domestic double in the FA Cup final against Portsmouth on Saturday and the Italian, a specialist in getting the best out of players in their 30s during his time at Milan, dismissed suggestions that the current squad has passed its peak.


"I think that this club will have a future because these players are not so old and we have a very good squad, for next year and the years after," he said.


"We had a fantastic season, not only by winning the Premier League but because we showed a good style on the pitch," Ancelotti said. "After the first year, I hope to stay here a long time and win a lot of titles.


Against injury-depleted opponents, it took Nicolas Anelka only five minutes to calm the Chelsea supporters' nerves with the opener and any doubt over the destiny of the trophy disappeared just after the half hour mark when Gary Caldwell wrestled Frank Lampard to the ground inside the box.


The Scotland defender was given his marching orders and Lampard got up to fire in a textbook penalty for his 22nd league goal of the season.


"When we heard Wigan were down to 10 men all our hopes evaporated," acknowledged Ferguson, who felt United, with a little more luck, could easily have claimed a fourth consecutive title, despite the pre-season departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.


"I am not going to agonise about where it went wrong," Ferguson said. "Sometimes you get the breaks, on other occasions you don't.


"But we applaud Chelsea winning the title and I applaud Carlo Ancelotti. We know how hard it is to win the league."


Didier Drogba got involved in an unseemly spat with Lampard over who was taking Chelsea's first penalty but still finished the afternoon with a hat-trick, which ensures he takes the EPL's golden boot with a total of 29 league goals, three more than Wayne Rooney managed for United.


Arsenal clinched third place with a 4-0 win over Fulham, ensuring another money-spinning season of Champions League football at the Emirates.


The Gunners enter directly at the group stage while Tottenham's fourth place means they must come through a final qualifier to fully benefit from their elevation to a place among Europe's elite.


Andrey Arshavin, Robin van Persie and Carlos Vela were on target for Arsenal, who also benefited from an own goal by Chris Baird against opponents who clearly had one eye on Wednesday's Europa League final against Atletico Madrid.


A memorable season for Spurs ended in weary fashion and with manager Harry Redknapp fuming at his side for conceding a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 at Burnley.


"We've had a great season, I've been delighted with the performances during the year, but you always want to win," Redknapp said. "I didn't come here just to have a jolly up."


A deeply frustrating season for Liverpool ended with a goalless draw at Hull that ensured Rafael Benitez's side could finish no better than seventh in the table.


Above them, in fifth place, are Manchester City, who were held to a 1-1 draw at West Ham, and Aston Villa, who held on to sixth place despite a late Richard Dunne own goal resulting in a 1-0 defeat at home to Blackburn.



Those results mean Liverpool will have to come through a final qualifier as well as the play-off round to get into the group stages of next season's Europa League.
