Blockbuster Finale

Champ or Chump as Chelsea and MU race on

Second half goals from Michael Ballack and Florent Malouda gave Chelsea a 2-0 away win over Newcastle on Monday and ensured that the Premier League title race will go to the wire.

Michael Ballack was again Chelsea's hero as the Londoners took the Premier League title race down the final game of the season. The German, whose double against Manchester United last week took them level with their rivals at the top, broke a stubborn Newcastle with a crucial 60th-minute opener at St James' Park. But it was not until Florent Malouda added a second eight minutes from time that the points were safe as the spirited Magpies did their best to preserve a seven-game unbeaten run.
Whatever the outcome, it will be a blockbuster finale end to the dramatic season.
