London [UK], July 15 (ANI): Olivier Giroud's goal proved decisive during clash Norwich City as Chelsea boosted their hopes to remain in the top-four positions here on Wednesday.
With this 1-0 victory, Chelsea have gained a four-point lead over the fourth-placed Leicester City (59) and fifth-placed Manchester United (59). Moreover, relegation is already confirmed for the bottom-placed club, Norwich City.
Also, it was Chelsea's fourth clean sheet in their past five home games and a win was the necessary response to the 3-0 defeat they had suffered against Sheffield United in their previous match.
The match witnessed a tough competition between both teams as they restricted each other from taking the lead in the early minutes of the game. However, Giroud's header in the 453rd minute broke the deadlock.
With this goal, the 33-year-old put himself on the scoresheet for the fourth time since the campaign restart.
Chelsea will now take on Manchester United in FA Cup on July 19. (ANI)Get a daily dose of Bristol Star news through our daily email, its complimentary and keeps you fully up to date with world and business news as well.
