The 2010 Ghana champions defeated Liberty Professionals 2-0 on Wednesday to close the gap at the top of the First Capital Plus Premier League

Berekum Chelsea's pursuit of Ashantigold atop the Ghana Premier League table now hits full gear following the Brong Ahafo Region side's 2-0 win over Liberty Professionals on Wednesday in a match day 22 tie.

Hitman Kofi Owusu was among the goals at the Golden City Park in Berekum for Chelsea's third straight win and fourth in their last five games (one draw) as they moved within two points of leaders, Ashantigold who could only draw goalless with local rivals, New Edubiase.

Chelsea now amass 39 points in second spot to Ashantigold's 41 with seven games to go as the race for the 2015 Ghana title intensifies.

Chelsea are three points clear of sensational WAFA who moved up to 3rd after their shock 1-0 win over champions, Asante Kotoko in Sogakofe.

Chelsea's title chase continues next in the Brong Ahafo derby away to Bechem United with a chance to overtake Ashantigold who are also away to a wounded Asante Kotoko when match day 24 kicks off on Sunday July 26.
