Mon 04 Apr 2007Carvalho gives Chelsea fresh hopeChelsea 1 Tottenham 0:Chelsea, relentless and ruthless, have hope again. If this felt like a fixture too far for both teams, lethargy at times dragging the contest almost to plodding pace, the news that filtered through from Fratton Park on Saturday evening should ensure the champions' zest is rekindled for the weeks ahead. Jose Mourinho and his squad departed for Spain yesterday three points adrift and with belief refreshed that a third consecutive Premiership title remains within their grasp. Such confidence is hardly misplaced.While Chelsea continue to squeeze successes such as this from the tail-end of their season, the sense the championship will remain at Stamford Bridge will swell. An eighth consecutive league win had to be prised from Tottenham Hotspur here, the home side as visibly jaded as their visitors, who had been losing in Seville some 39 hours previously and arrived back in London only on Friday evening.
