Andre Villas-Boas: 'We are still in the title race'

AVB: 'We are still in the title race'

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has insisted that his team are still in the Premier League title race following their 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Thursday evening. Daniel Sturridge's first-half effort cancelled out an early Emmanuel Adebayor strike, but Chelsea remain 11 points behind league leaders Manchester City.

"If we take six points from our next two home fixtures, I think we will be pretty much in it," Villas-Boas told Goal.com.

"We came to face a Tottenham side who are title challengers and it's always a good point to get. We were in a worse position before and recovered, and I'm fairly sure we can further shorten the distance."

Chelsea will look to return to winning ways when they host Fulham on Monday afternoon.
