LONDON -- Chelsea went four points ahead of Manchester United atop the English Premier League with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over a resilient Bolton on Tuesday.Clippers Jersey . It took Nicolas Anelkas 43rd-minute header against his former club to clinch a fourth straight league victory for Chelsea that keeps the FA Cup finalist on course for a double. Chelsea can afford to lose one of its four remaining matches, which includes hosting Tottenham on Saturday and a trip to Liverpool, and still win its first championship crown since 2006. "The Premier League is in our hands and we have to stay focused and calm," Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said. Arsenal is six adrift in third place going into Wednesdays north London derby against Tottenham. Bolton is just five points above the relegation zone and manager Owen Coyle felt his side should been awarded penalties in each half at Stamford Bridge. "We were in that game every second of the match," Coyle said. "We are fighting for our lives as well to secure our Premier League place. There are an awful amount of positives to take from the match -- the energy and zest of the team." Last month it seemed Chelseas season was falling apart -- Champions League elimination was followed by a league draw at Blackburn that put United in control of the title race. With Wayne Rooney injured, United has faded while Chelsea has stormed back into the ascendancy by scoring 17 goals in its last four wins in the league and FA Cup. Bolton, though, had lost four of its last five without scoring and even United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had conceded that these would be three easy points for Chelsea. It didnt go to plan. Didier Drogba, who spearheaded the Chelsea attack, had a couple of early chances but the home side struggled to put together any flowing football. And there were a couple of early injury scares for Chelsea defenders. John Terry briefly limped off after appearing to hurt an ankle while trying to block Matthew Taylors shot, but the captain returned. And bandages were wrapped around Yuri Zhirkovs head after a clash with Kevin Davies to stem the flow of blood. Bolton proved far more formidable than the side that leaked four goals to United last month. Paulo Ferreira had to scramble the ball off the line in the 15th after Taylor pounced when goalkeeper Petr Cech dropped Chung-yong Lees cross. Chelsea did come close to going in front 10 minutes later when Jussi Jaaskelainen parried Drogbas free kick straight, but it hit Salomon Kalous head and went wide. Chelsea made its breakthrough just before the break, when Drogbas left-footed cross picked out Anelka in front of goal and he headed down past former Bolton teammate Jaaskelainen to score his first in 14 matches. Kalou could have strengthened Chelseas lead at the start of the second half, but he shot straight at Jaaskelainen after being released by Drogba. Bolton appealed for a penalty when Terry appeared to handle Lees cross, but the referees assistant indicated that it hit the centre backs upper chest. "You go through a season and youre going to get penalties and not going to get them -- they could have had one," Terry said. "It definitely felt like it hit the top of my chest." Joe Cole replaced Kalou with around 15 minutes to go and was immediately rampaging down the right and picked out Michael Ballack, but the midfielder headed at Jaaskelainen. Johan Elmander could have levelled in the closing minutes but he headed wide from Taylors cross. Authentic Jeremy Lin Jersey .

Alan DSilva was referring at a court hearing Monday to recent reports of testimony made in the discovery phase of the lawsuit that stems from the March 8, 2004 game between the Canucks and the Colorado Avalanche. During the game, the Canucks Todd Bertuzzi jumped the Avalanches Moore, punching him from behind and then falling on top of him. Moore suffered three fractured vertebrae in his neck, a concussion and facial cuts. He hasnt played since. One allegation in the discovery testimony that gained wide publicity came from Bertuzzi, who said that then-Canucks coach Marc Crawford pointed to Moores name on a roster board between the second and third periods of the night in question and said, he must pay the price. Moores lawyer, Tim Danson, told the court that Canucks general manager, Dave Nonis, also testified about remarks by Crawford. In his testimony last year, Nonis said he didnt know if Crawford said anything to his team between the second and third periods of the night of the attack. But he said Canucks players Markus Naslund, Trevor Linden and Mattias Ohlund later told him that the coach before the game, pointed to a number of players and said - `they got to pay the price tonight. In that testimony, Nonis went on to explain that his understanding of Crawfords remark was that Crawford meant his team had to make it difficult for them to play. Weve got to try to be, you know,, hard on them.Carmelo Anthony Swingman Jersey. The discovery transcripts were part of Moores motion to amend his statement of claim from $15 million to $38 million. The prelude to the Bertuzzi-Moore incident came at February 16th, 2004 game where Moore delivered a hit to Naslund that resulted in the Canucks captain suffering a concussion. DSilva argued the statements in the court documents filed recently are inflammatory, scandalous and vexatious, and will have a prejudicial effect given the intense media attention on this case. This is supposed to be a jury trial, he said. DSilva said Crawford was motivating his players to act within the rules of the game. And Orca Bay Hockey, the former parent company of the Canucks, has said that at no time did the organization or its employees, including former Canucks coach Crawford, encourage or promote the Bertuzzi-Moore incident. DSilva also said Orca Bay had no knowledge of what went on in the dressing room. Why are the owners of the business - who have nothing to do with the team - being sued? he asked. We plead that Orca Bay was negligent, replied Danson, who called the incident the worst attack in the history of professional sports. Master Ronald Dash, presiding at the court proceeding, answered: I dont know how they wouldnt be vicariously liable, referring to a form of secondary liability that arises from the responsibility of a superior for the acts of their subordinates. Moore is suing Bertuzzi and Orca Bay Hockey. The lawsuit against the Canucks and Bertuzzi deals largely with damages due to Moores lost income. None of the allegations in the lawsuit or the discovery examinations have been proven in court. Wholesale Jerseys.
