Chelsea Outclass City to Close on 100 Points
By WorldSport Staff | Premier Division | Drogba Arena | May 13, 2054
Already crowned champions, Chelsea continued their march toward a near-perfect league campaign with a convincing 3–1 victory over Manchester City at the Drogba Arena. The result took Calin Dimario’s side to 99 points with one game remaining, extending their dominance in a season that has been nothing short of historic.
Relentless attacking display
Chelsea overwhelmed City from the opening whistle, registering an incredible 30 shots and 5.03 expected goals compared to City’s 0.76. Their intensity and pressing kept Pep Guardiola’s successors pinned back, with the champions dictating 65% possession and completing 88% of their passes.
The breakthrough came in the 10th minute when Pele capitalised on a defensive error to slot home a low drive that took a slight deflection past Ellison. Scott Crichton doubled the lead from the spot on 28 minutes, firing into the top corner after VAR confirmed the penalty decision. Despite a brief City resurgence and a goal from Luca Ellison, Chelsea reasserted control through substitute Jairzinho, who sealed the result with a well-placed strike in the 87th minute.
Crichton shines again
Player of the Match Scott Crichton once again showcased why he’s a frontrunner for the English Footballer of the Year. The Irish winger contributed a goal and an assist, covered 14.4 kilometres, and consistently stretched the City backline. His all-action performance earned him an 8.5 match rating, further cementing his key role in Chelsea’s attacking setup.
Supporting acts came from Mario Cardozo and Jairzinho, both instrumental in Chelsea’s fluid transitions, while Alan Kardec and Viktor Mackie anchored a composed backline that limited City’s chances to speculative efforts.
Champions in command
The victory sees Chelsea move 24 points clear of second-placed Arsenal, underlining their utter dominance this season. With 124 goals scored and just 108 conceded over 37 matches, Dimario’s men are on the verge of hitting the century mark for points once again — a feat unmatched in Premier Division history.
Next up is the season finale, where Chelsea will look to cap off their campaign with another statement performance before turning their full focus to the UEFA Champions League Final in Athens.
“It was a complete performance,” said manager Calin Dimario post-match. “The players maintained their focus despite the title being secured weeks ago. That mentality is what separates great teams from historic ones.”
With form, fitness, and confidence all peaking at the perfect time, Chelsea remain on course for yet another landmark season — one that could end with domestic and European perfection.
