Leicester, Chelsea leave it late to win in Premier League

John Terry is facing a battle to be fit for Chelsea's crucial Champions League second leg against Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Chelsea fought back to win 2-1 against Southampton at St Mary's on Saturday, with a late header from Branislav Ivanovic handing them all three points.

The Spaniard, who has been on the fringes of the team for the majority of a disappointing debut campaign at Chelsea, started his fourth consecutive match on Saturday. "We've made a massive pressure game for ourselves on Tuesday when we play Palace at home, then it's Southampton away". Southampton have not conceded in their last six games and if they can continue that trend they are obviously going to win alot of games. Make no mistake, he is still a long way from his outstanding displays of last term, but the Belgian winger is on the right track and seems to be benefitting from the greater man-management of Guus Hiddink.

After a lively opening from both sides, Long spurned a good chance to put the Saints in front on ten minutes, but headed over from a good position after Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had attempted to come and collect Cedric Soares's cross before then back-tracking.

Obama , on the other hand, was born to a white mother and Kenyan father in Honolulu and enjoyed privileges that Carson did not. Keith Simmons (@Foreignstorian) said "You can not distill the black experience into something so narrow".

Chelsea manager Hiddick said, "I think it was a deserved win for us". I don't know who has decided that, all of a sudden, the Liverpool... "We emphasized that and the players responded".

The defending Premier League champions were emphatic 5-1 winners against Manchester City's second string in the FA Cup fifth round at Stamford Bridge last weekend.

"I'm happy that players like Cesc Fabregas and Oscar players also step up, not just in their personal performance but also organising".

Manager Ronald Koeman insisted his side were unfortunate to fall to defeat but, although his team were denied a possible penalty for Gary Cahill's challenge on Charlie Austin with the score at 1-0, he refused to criticise referee Martin Atkinson.

With the 2016 NBA All-Star Game officially behind us, the light at the end of the regular season tunnel is getting brighter. McCollum's 3-pointer gave Portland a 98-96 advantage, but Favors' rebound jam tied it at 98-98 with 5:10 left.

"Hopefully the PSG game doesn't go into extra-time because players need time when the intensity of the league is like it is", Hiddink said.

Southampton missed out on equalling their top-flight record of seven games without conceding, set in 2001, but Fraser Forster broke a Southampton goalkeeping record in the 34th minute when he beat Paul Jones' mark of 666 minutes without letting in a Premier League goal.

"We are a much stronger squad if we have Eden playing at his best and have a better chance to get good results".
