London, Dec 29 : Chelsea coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has said that the Premier League title hunt was still open as his club went into 2009 three points behind leaders Liverpool.

The Blues managed only a 2-2 draw at Fulham and are three points behind Liverpool. Chelsea topped the table at the end of November, but has faltered since, with Liverpool taking full advantage.

"The championship is not finished. It will go down to the last two games," Scolari said.

Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson celebrated a year in charge yesterday and his team are now unbeaten in nine matches, The Sun reported.

He said: "It was a remarkable achievement to come back and keep the run going. I'm sure Chelsea are disappointed but we showed fighting spirit. We showed we could grind out results." (ANI)
