Bolton striker Sturridge tells Chelsea: Arsenal win was for you

Bolton Wanderers striker Danny Sturridge was happy to beat Arsenal - and lift the title chances of parent club Chelsea.

Sturridge made it seven goals in nine games for Wanderers as his opener put Gunners on the ropes on Sunday.

Bolton's 2-1 win all but ended Arsene Wenger's title chances.

And the striker, 21, - who was shuffled out of Stamford Bridge to make way for Torres in January - said: "I think I've done the boys at Chelsea a bit of a favour. I'm sure I'll be getting a few texts.

"At the moment I'm just pleased to help Bolton but to be able to help my actual club too is great.

"I think this result makes it a two-horse race. It's between Chelsea and Manchester United now.

"It's going to be a tense four games but hopefully Chelsea will take the title."
