Chelsea 2-4 Bradford City; Post-Match Reaction

So, after much hype of a Quadruple after the draw away to Liverpool in the Capital One Cup semi, any hopes of one occurring were shattered by a genuine shock, as League 1 Bradford came back from 2-0 down to win 4-2 against the Premier League leaders. A shocking performance by Chelsea, but credit has to go to Bradford for an astounding performance; better than that of teams like Maribor and Sporting who have visited in the Champions League. I can’t help but wonder if the Bradford fan I bumped into was gutted about his Chelsea to win 3-0 bet not coming off…

Tottenham Hotspur 5-3 Chelsea; Post-Match Reaction

The actual reaction to the match itself will be quite short: Kane good, Chadli good, Hazard good, Costa good, Tottenham defence bad, Chelsea defence worse. Phil Dowd for once had a decent game, and while Jose Mourinho may have blamed the loss on him not giving a penalty for a Jan Vertonghen potential-handball, even I say the decision was a correct one. However, so many players had shocking games: Matic, Fabregas, JT, Oscar, Willian, Ramires… even Jose didn’t have the best day with his subs. But two in particular stood out, and have done so for a while (and not in a good way).
Eden Hazard, despite having one of his best games this season, still ends up on the losing side
