Chelsea lost two vital points against Reading

Chelsea went into the game with such overconfidence of overhauling the minnows in EPL, the Reading, but soon realized that they are no minnows anymore. Mourinho will be furious after the match as they lost two vital points in the title chase. Later today, Manchester United will meet Wigan Athletic at the Old Trafford.

Didier Drogba scored from a Lampard corner kick on the 38th minute to give the lead to Chelsea. Fifteen minutes into the second half, Reading levelled with a headed goal from Liroy Lita. Drogba header, 18 minutes from time, gave the lead back to the Chelsea. But every calculation of Mourihno went wrong when on the 85th minute, disaster struck. Ashly cole tried to clear a free ball and he did it into the chest of advancing Essien. The ball bounced off the chest and into the net. Goalkeeper Hilario dived to the left to rescue, but was too. Reading were level and that was how it ended.
