Salomon Kalou came off the bench to score in the 89th minute and give Chelsea a 2-1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur that keeps the champions' Premier League title hopes alive for at least another week. Chelsea, who visit leaders Manchester United next weekend, are now just three points behind the Old Trafford side in second place on 70 points with three matches left. United, who visit Arsenal on Sunday, have 73 with four games to play.
Saturday's match at Stamford Bridge seemed to be heading for a 1-1 draw until Kalou knocked the ball in from close range after a goalmouth scramble to give Chelsea the points. Arsenal are in third place with 64 points ahead of fourth-placed Manchester City in the final Champions League qualifying spot on 59 before they host West Ham United on Sunday. Spurs stay fifth on 55.
