Roman Abramovich Happy With Chelsea' Season So Far - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea are within touching distance of their fourth Premier League title and owner Roman Abramovich is thrilled, says Jose Mourinho. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says owner Roman Abramovich is happy with the club's campaign as they look on course to claim the Premier League title.

Sunday's goalless draw with Arsenal saw Chelsea edge a step closer to the club's first title since 2010 after they also claimed the League Cup in March. Chelsea were the subject of 'boring' chants from Arsenal fans as they ground out a point at the Emirates Stadium with Abramovich having previously been keen to see attacking football following his takeover in 2003.

CAPITAL ONE CUP: Sam Allardyce Hails Howard After Heroic Display

Sam Allardyce cited Sheffield United goalkeeper Mark Howard as the thorn in West Ham's side following their League Cup loss. West Ham were stunned by their League One visitors as the Yorkshire club prevailed on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Upton Park on Tuesday.

Allardyce's men led through Diafra Sakho before Winston Reid's own goal levelled matters, with Howard saving Enner Valencia's spot-kick to allow Michael Doyle to convert the winner in the shoot-out. It offered Sheffield United a small taste of revenge after a Carlos Tevez-inspired West Ham controversially secured Premier League safety at their expense in 2007. And Allardyce was in no doubt as to who had inspired the upset.

MK DONS 4 MAN UNITED 0: Third Division Team Dis-Unites United And Louis van Gaal

Manchester United sank to new depths on Tuesday when they crashed out of the League Cup in the second round following a 4-0 defeat at third-division Milton Keynes Dons. United had announced the signing of Angel di Maria from Real Madrid in a British-record $A109m deal shortly before kick-off, but they were brought down to earth with a painful bump as a second-string team fell apart at Stadium MK.

Will Grigg scored either side of half-time for the League One side before Benik Afobe added a brace of his own to leave a shell-shocked Louis van Gaal still searching for his first competitive win as United manager. United’s defeat mirrored what had happened on their last appearance in the second round in 1995, when they fell to third-tier York City, and means a potential path to silverware has been shut off before the end of August.
