Chelsea zeroes in

-

LONDON— With a tenacious defensive display, Chelsea held Arsenal to a 0-0 draw on Sunday to close in on its first Premier League title in five years.

Aside from penalty decisions not going Chelsea’s way, the only thing that frustrated coach Jose Mourinho was Arsenal fans chanting: “Boring, boring Chelsea.”

But Chelsea is 10 points clear of defending champion Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the standings with five games to go.

Mourinho was quick to remind Arsenal fans after the game that their team hasn’t won the title since 2004, saying: “Waiting for so many years without a Premier League title . . . that’s very boring.”

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal had nothing to brag about on Sunday, as Everton beat his fourth-placed team 3-0.
