That's what we set out on at the start of the season and the objective hasn't changed. [LNB]'With the quality players we have in the squad, we have to finish fourth. Anything else will be a very disappointing season.' [LNB]After Carlos Tevez had cancelled out Frank Lampard's opening goal, the momentum changed when, early in the second half, Bellamy destroyed John Obi Mikel with his pace before finishing from a narrow angle with help from Chelsea keeper Henrique Hilario, who had also been at fault for Tevez's leveller.
