No rift between Chelsea boss AVB and Abramovich

Chelsea have denied claims boss Andre Villas-Boas was given some sort of ultimatum from Blues owner Roman Abramovich before the club's breathtaking 3-3 draw with Manchester United. Reports had suggested the billionaire was becoming frustrated with results under the Portuguese.

The Blues confirmed Abramovich spoke to Villas-Boas during a rare visit to the club's training ground on Saturday before attending Sunday's Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.

A spokesman said: "Roman likes to get down to Cobham and watch training whenever he can. He was able to visit on Saturday and he and Andre had a good chat after the training session, which is normal."
