adminChelsea went seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table with seven games to play after Cesc Fabregas’s late goal sealed a 1-0 win away to strugglers Queens Park Rangers yesterday.
It seemed Jose Mourinho’s side would have to settle for a draw at Loftus Road in this clash between the two west London clubs at Loftus Road.
But after Chelsea goalkeeper Thibault Courtois had made a couple of fine saves, Fabregas broke the deadlock two minutes from time.
From a poor clearance by QPR goalkeeper Robert Green, Eden Hazard and Oscar worked the ball down the left before Spain midfielder and former Arsenal favourite Fabregas side-footed the ball in from 16 yards.
Victory left Chelsea seven points in front of second-placed Arsenal, with QPR remaining in the relegation zone. — AFP
