Late Cesc Fabregas winner takes Chelsea one step closer to the title

Premier League, Loftus Road - QPR 0 Chelsea 1 (Fabregas 88)

Cesc Fabregas netted a late winner to give Chelsea a vital three points against local rivals QPR at Loftus Road. 

The victory takes Chelsea a big step closer to the Premier League title they so crave while condemning QPR to another week in the bottom three of the Premier League. 

QPR will be gutted not to have got anything out of the game having had Chelsea on the back-foot for much of the game against after a lacklustre Blues performance. 

The first half was a scrappy affair with only a 44th-minute effort from Charlie Austin troubling either goalkeeper. 

The second half continued in much the same manner but Chelsea managed to get the three points despite a very poor performance. 

Chelsea now go seven points clear at the top with a game in hand on Arsenal and only need four wins from their last seven games to win the title. QPR sit two points adrift of safety but will take heart from a superb performance against the champions elect.
