Chelsea ace feeling the pressure

Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack appears to be feeling a bit of pressure in the Premiership title race already.

The Chelsea summer signing was well aware they only had three points before their last game and Man Utd were already on nine.

However, after a good display Chelsea managed to grab the three points and make that gap between them and United smaller.

"It was a very important win for us because before the game we had only three points and United had nine," said Ballack to the Daily Express.

"Maybe we were a little nervous because we had lost the previous game and United won on Saturday.

"As a result, we made too many mistakes in the first half. But then we improved and we made enough chances to win."
