Chelsea took full advantage of Liverpool's demolition job on Manchester
United to move back into second place in the Premier League with a
1-0 win over Manchester City.
Chelsea are now just four points behind United after Michael Essien's
first-half goal enabled Guus Hiddink's side to overcome a disappointing
City outfit at Stamford Bridge.
It was Chelsea's fourth straight league win under Hiddink and they
remain unbeaten since the Dutch coach agreed to take charge of the
side until the summer.
Although United also have a game in hand on the Blues, Chelsea
ensured they kept up the pressure on the leaders with a typically
combative victory that moved them ahead of Liverpool on goal difference.
