Manchester United
demolished Chelsea 3-2 at the bridge to end a jinx of almost a decade
without a win at the Bridge since the famous 3-0 win in 2002.
The visitors took the lead when Van Persie's shot hit the woodwork and eventually deflected off David Luis back to earn them a 1-0 lead in the 3rd minute. The dutch ace received a superb curling pass from the speedy Antonio Valencia.
The reds continue to press until they got the deserved goal via Van Persie. The former Arsenal skipper fired in a shot that went beyond the grasp of Peter Cech.
The homside pressurized United and really gave them a torrid last 15 mins of first half. They almost scored on numerous occassions thanks to several opulent shots save from the burgeoning David De Gea.
Juan Mata scores a sensational freekick that was justifiably beyond the reach of De Gea. Wayne Rooney was a little bit languid with the ball in front of the box to enable Hazard steal the ball. The england star conspicuously brought down the Chelsea man to enable Mata fired in the resultant freekick.
The second half started with the blues dominating virtually every aspect of the game and they got the deserved equaliser as Ramires rose above Tom Cleverley to clinch the equaliser that made it 2-2 and sparkle a sweet moment at the bridge.
A couple of dubious decisions from referee Mark Clattenburg left the world of football in great bewilderment when he sent off two Chelsea men. Fernando Torres, who was booked before, recieved his marching orders in what looks like an innoculous challenge from Jonny Evans. Everyone thought it was a freekick against United only for the ref to flash a yellow card to Torres that eventually sent him furiously into the tunnel.
Not more than 15 mins difference, Branislav Ivanovich, who happens to be the last man in the defence line was rightfully sent off for bringing down Ashley Young. The referee indicated from a skysports conversation from former referee Gallagher that it was very impossible for him to have judge from such angle and he thought Torres dived in order to decieve him. Although Gallagher did admit that it was a very complicated challenge, but it shouldn't have culminated into giving Torres his marching orders.
However Chelsea have reported to the FA that the referee furiously made a racial abuse towards Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel after he stunned the crowd by giving Antonia Valencia a yellow card after video replay indicates there was a conspicuous contact between them. The Chelsea officials have reportedly notify the FA that he also abused Torres, and Mata all in the same game. The football association are now awaiting a pending report from Mark Clattenburg about the game and the referee might face desciplinary actions. One funny thing is that, the referees association has refutes such claims and are ready to battle it out for the ref. However, information from his two line men and Mike Jones; the ref that gifted Newcastle United a dubious penalty last year at Old Trafford could prove to be significant.
United finally got the winner through super sub Javier Hernandez. Van Persie's shot that almost crossed the touchline was magnificiently parried away by Peter Cech to allow Rafael firing in another
Shot that was tapped in by Chicharito to put United 3-2.
David De Gea pull out a series of sensational saves to deny Chelsea any hope of equaliser. The spanish young star made about 5 saves that obviously looked like a goal. He denied the likes of Hazard, Mata, Torres not to mention but few. United lies second in the league with just a solitary point between them and the blues.
