Blues question penalty count

London - Chelsea's tally of two penalties in 28 Premier League games this season "seems abnormally low", the runaway leaders said on Wednesday.

Appearing to back up manager Jose Mourinho's belief that there is a 'campaign' against his players, the Stamford Bridge outfit said the spot-kick count "unquestionably bucks the recent trend".

"Our position as clear league leaders and second highest scorers suggests we can't be labelled anything other than an attacking side, spending plenty of time in the opposition box," the club said on their website (www.chelseafc.com).
