Bolton Wanderers striker Daniel Sturridge says goal against Arsenal was meant for Chelsea – EPL news
Bolton Wanderers striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076 has revealed that his goal against Arsenal was actually to help Chelsea in their bid for the title.
Sturridge earned Bolton a lead in the 38th minute and eventually Bolton emerged out as 2-1 winners against the Gunners. The win has practically ended Arsenal’s hopes of claiming the title and has allowed Manchester United and Chelsea to battle
it out.
Sturridge is currently on-loan from Chelsea and has been a consistent performer for the Trotters. He earned Bolton a lead in the 38th minute which was soon equalised by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 in the 48th. It was Tamir Cohen’s goal in the
90th minute that sealed Bolton’s victory but it is believed that it was Sturridge’s goal which propelled Bolton to go for the win.
The Englishman was extremely delighted after scoring his seventh League goal in just nine appearances and admitted that his goal against Arsenal was the most important one. He hoped to receive plenty of applause from his parent club and wished Chelsea all
the best of luck with their remaining matches.
Further commenting about his goal, Sturridge said, “I think I've done the boys at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 a bit of a favour, I'm sure I'll be getting a few texts. I think this result makes it a two-horse race. It's between Chelsea and Manchester United now. It's going to
be a tense four games but hopefully Chelsea will take the title.”
The youngster has been performing immaculately well at Bolton but it is assumed that he would be back with Chelsea once the season comes to an end. During his time with the Blues, he was never a regular and failed to impress from his 26 League appearances
which saw him scoring only one goal.
The 21-year-old also wished to be back playing for Chelsea but added that currently all his focus was with Bolton and he was happy to be helping them out and scoring goals.
He said, “At the moment I'm just pleased to help Bolton but to be able to help my actual club too is great. I hope I can get to double figures for Bolton. It would be amazing.”
Bolton are currently eighth in the League table with 46 points. With five games remaining in the season, the Trotters would surely be hoping to finish somewhere in the top six.
