The 2010–11 season was Chelsea Football Club's 97th competitive season, 19th consecutive season in the Premier League, and 105th year in existence as a football club. They went into the Premier League as the defending champions, but failed to retain it.

The club was managed by their Double-winning manager Carlo Ancelotti, but his association with the club would be broken off, being sacked at the end of the season. Chelsea started off the season with an amazing five-consecutive-wins run in the Premier League, which was eventually halted by Manchester City when City skipper Carlos Tevez scored to lead his side into a 1–0 triumph over the defending champions. Chelsea were leading the Premier League table for almost half a season, before Manchester United overtook them when Chelsea went through a bad period during the winter saga. Altogether in the Premier League, Chelsea won 21 games, drew 8 and lost 9. They conceded the least amount of goals compared to all the other clubs in the league, sharing this with Manchester City.

In January 2011, on the last day of the transfer window, Chelsea bought Fernando Torres for a club-record-breaking and British-record-breaking fee of £50 million from Liverpool.[1][2] They also bought defender David Luiz from Benfica, for €25 million plus Nemanja Matić, on the same day.[3][4]

  • 16 October 2010: Chelsea go without scoring for the second away league game in succession as they play out a 0–0 stalemate against Aston Villa. However, following Manchester United's earlier draw with West Brom, they maintain their five-point lead at the top of the league.
  • 3 November 2010: A 4–1 win against Spartak Moscow ensures Chelsea's place in the knockout stages of the Champions League. With the score locked at 0–0 at the break, Nicolas Anelka opens the scoring in the second half from a tight angle, before Didier Drogba scores a penalty. Branislav Ivanović also scores his first Chelsea goals at Stamford Bridge either side of Nikita Bazhenov's consolation – the first goal conceded at Stamford Bridge for 956 minutes in all competitions.

  • 20 November 2010: Chelsea fall to their third league defeat in four games as they lose 0–1 to Birmingham City at St. Andrew's. Lee Bowyer scores the only goal of the game, while Ben Foster makes a string of excellent saves. Following Manchester United's win against Wigan, Chelsea now only lead the table on goal difference.
  • 23 November 2010: A 2–1 win over Žilina ensures that Chelsea will be a top seed in the Champions League draw for the knock-out stages. Daniel Sturridge and Florent Malouda score the goals.
  • 29 December 2010: Chelsea's last match of 2010 sees them end a horrid run of results without a win as they beat Bolton Wanderers 1–0 at Stamford Bridge, their first win in six league games.
  • 2 January 2011: Chelsea begin 2011 with a thrilling 3–3 draw at home to Aston Villa. John Terry's 89th-minute goal looks to have sealed the game, only for Ciaran Clark to equalise in injury time.
  • 5 January 2011: A 0–1 defeat to bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers leaves Chelsea fifth in the league table.
  • 9 January 2011: Chelsea begin their defence of the FA Cup with a resounding 7–0 win over Ipswich Town at Stamford Bridge.
  • 24 January 2011: Chelsea triumph 0–4 against Bolton Wanderers at Reebok Stadium, their third consecutive win on the bounce as they look to put their poor run of form behind them.
  • 31 January 2011: In a dramatic January transfer deadline day, Chelsea smash the British transfer record as they sign Fernando Torres from Liverpool for £50 million. Meanwhile, Chelsea also secure the signature of Benfica's David Luiz in a deal worth €25 million, with Nemanja Matić to move the other way in the summer.
  • 6 February 2011: Chelsea lose 0–1 to Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, with Raul Meireles scoring the only goal in the 69th minute.
  • 19 February 2011: Chelsea draw 1–1 after extra time to Everton in the FA Cup. Frank Lampard scored early in extra to give Chelsea the lead, but a free kick by Leighton Baines leveled the sides late. The sides went to penalties in which Chelsea were defeated 4–3, ending their two-year run as FA Cup holders.
  • 1 March 2011: Chelsea triumph 2–1 against Manchester United to reignite their chances of defending the Premier League title. A strike from David Luiz cancels out Wayne Rooney's goal to level the match at 1–1, before a late Frank Lampard penalty seals the 2–1 win.
  • 16 March 2011: Chelsea are held 0–0 by Copenhagen at Stamford Bridge, but progress to the Champions League quarter-finals with an aggregate score of 2–0.
  • 20 March 2011: Chelsea defeat Manchester City 2–0 at Stamford Bridge. David Luiz first heads from Didier Drogba's free kick in the 78th minute. Ramires scores the second in the 90th minute, his second Premier League goal for Chelsea. Chelsea advance to third place in the league table, nine points behind Manchester United with a game in hand.
  • 12 April 2011: Chelsea are knocked out of the UEFA Champions League quarter finals by rivals Manchester United. Chelsea lost the first leg at Stamford Bridge; Wayne Rooney scoring the only goal on 29 minutes. The second leg at Old Trafford ends 2–1 in Manchester United's favour. Javier Hernández scoring before half-time. Didier Drogba equalises with 15 minutes to go after coming off the bench but is almost instantly cancelled out by Park Ji-sung.
  • 21 April 2011: Chelsea move into second in the Premier League table, on goal difference, with a 3–1 win over Birmingham City combined with Arsenal's 3–3 draw at Tottenham Hotspur.
  • 24 April 2011: Fernando Torres scores his first goal for Chelsea against West Ham United in between a Frank Lampard strike and a Florent Malouda screamer, the latter provides the assist.
  • 30 April 2011: Chelsea come from behind to beat Tottenham 2–1 at Stamford Bridge in controversial fashion.[16] After Sandro gives Tottenham the lead with a shot from 30 yards, Chelsea equalise before half time when Heurelho Gomes lets Frank Lampard's long range effort through his body and over the line. Replays later appear to indicate that all of the ball had not crossed the line,[16] but the goal is given. Then substitute Salomon Kalou, with minutes to go, stabs in Didier Drogba's fluffed shot from close range. Replays later show that Kalou was offside when the shot was taken, but again the goal is given.[16] The result brought Chelsea only three points behind league leaders Manchester United, following their 0–1 defeat to Arsenal – with Man United the next side for Chelsea to play. A victory would take Chelsea top of the league with only two games left to play.
  • 8 May 2011: Manchester United beat Chelsea 2–1 to inch closer to the record 19th title. Javier Hernández and Nemanja Vidić put United 2–0 up in the first half. Frank Lampard pulled one back in the second half, but it wasn't enough, as Manchester United kept their defense tight and held on to win the match.
  • 22 May 2011: Carlo Ancelotti is sacked after the last match of the season.
