League leaders Battle to win Despite Charlie Adam's Wonder Goal
Eden Hazard gave Chelsea the lead from the penalty spot in the 39th
minute after Philipp Wollscheid’s late challenge on Cesc Fabregas, but
they were pegged back by one of the goals of the season.
Adam produced arguably one of the best goals in Premier League history from inside his own half to catch Tibhaut Cortois off his line and give Stoke a lifeline just before the break.
But Chelsea, who lost second-half substitute Diego Costa to another hamstring injury, responded as Hazard pounced on Asmir Begovic’s error to give Loic Remy a tap in.
The win means Chelsea are just 16 points away from Premier League glory and it moves them seven points clear of nearest rivals Arsenal, eight ahead of United and nine better than Manchester City, who play Crystal Palace
