Nigeria’s Victor Moses aiming for the Premiership title with Chelsea was delighted at Friday’s Tottenham Hotspur’s loss to West Ham United as the closing stages of the English Premiership approach. Tottenham had been on the heels of Chelsea, but Friday’s loss has made Chelsea draw closer to the title.
Victor Moses and team mates all celebrated last the defeat spurs suffers in West Ham. Moses who once plied his trade with West Ham United hails his former team mates for an impressive display against Puchetino’s men who has been battling the league with the Blues.
He took to his twitter handle and wrote” I am delighted to see Spurs lose against the hammer. I can’t wait to lay my hand on the EPL trophy should we win our next few games. We deserve to be the champion, all thanks to my former team mate for beating spurs in my favour.”
“I see us winning Middlesbrough’s in our next game. Although we also have a lot of challenges to face but with the current form of the team, I see us escaping the hurdle.”
“It worth celebrating. I will club tonight and give thanks to God. As a footballer I cherish the league title more than any other title. While I was young I have always dream of placing my hand on the league, can’t wait to see my dream come true.” The 2013 AFCON gold medallist finally twitted.
The blues who are currently leading the EPL table will extend their leading point by seven should they win their next game at home against Boro.
