Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is confident that the club is back in with a chance for the Premier League title following last night's result.
The Blues came from behind to beat league leaders and the previously undefeated Manchester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge and Cech feels that things are now looking much better for he and his teammates.
"We are five points behind United and I think we have put some pressure on both Manchester clubs.
"It was an extremely important match for us and we needed to win it.
"Had we lost we would have been 13 points behind City and that would have been too much. Seven points looks a lot different to 13.
"Let's wait and see how a first defeat of the season impacts them."
"We have cut the gap on City down to seven points, so we are back in the title race," the Czech keeper wrote on his personal website.
