Chelsea Vs Man Utd

Chelsea vs Man Utd Sunday 22 Nd of September

The first meeting between last seasons top two domestically and in European competition was eagerly awaited before hand and lived up to the billing, the game was played at an unbelievably high pace and had incidents that will be talked about at work places and schools around the country this week.

It didn't take long for the first goal to arrive and when it came it was for the visitors after united clearly came out of the traps the quicker team, a terrific 50 yard run from patrice evra proved the catalyst for the goal when his cross met berbatovs right foot check could only parry the ball down and the livley Park Ji Sung had a tap in for his first goal of the season.

United had a deserved lead just as they did the week before at Anfield only this time would they collapse like last week.

the game had many tackles but none of tem appeared to be with any real intent to harm seven yellow cards were handed out to utd and just the one to chelsea when it seemed a very even game in terms of foul play united know face a disciplinary action and a fine of 25,000 pounds from the football association.

Chelsea found the equaliser eventually in the 80th minute when a frank lampard cross was met by second half substitute salaman Kalou who headed past replacement keeper kushak.

The game ended in confusion when a challenge between drogba and ferdinand ended in what appeared to be a free-kick for Chelsea which infact was the final whistle and united players were not happy with the referee and gary nevilee was exercising his right as club captain to have words with Steve bennet.

To summarise united will be happy with the result considering what happend at Anfield last week, and chelsea will be relived to get a point and keep their unbeaten home record of four years intact.
