Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has conceded the Premier
League title is now out of the Blues's hands following Sunday's 2-0
defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.
Having had Frank Lampard controversially sent off on the hour
mark, two late Fernando Torres goals consigned Chelsea to only
their second away defeat of the campaign, but one that now leaves
them in third place, five points behind leaders Manchester United
having played a game more.
And the Czech Republic glove-man now believes the title is either
United or Liverpool's to lose.
"All we can do now is keep winning, so if Liverpool or United
drop points we can close the gap," he said. "That is the only way
for us now. It's not in our hands, it's in United's.
"Whether it's our concentration or not I don't know but we need
to sort it out. At the start of the season we were getting a lot of
clean sheets. Then in December we had a run where we didn't.
"You can have a great game and still allow the opposition to
score. That's what we're doing and it makes everything a lot more
difficult. When you're not conceding goals for so long, it gives
you a massive boost to know one goal will get you three
points."
