Chelsea's Cech concedes top four finish

Petr Cech suggests that Chelsea's top-four hopes have now been dashed.

The Blues were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge to fall four points a Champions League which has prompted the Czech international to give up hope of a finish in the top four.

"The chance is small, let's be honest," he wrote on his own official website.

"Tottenham and Newcastle would have to lose both games and we would have to win two. By the fact that both our rivals won [on Wednesday] it has all become a whole lot harder."
