Chelsea lands second defeat Manchester United this season
Yesterday's opponents is highly undesirable to play a draw. And, in regard to Chelsea is still very mildly, as many in the camp of the Blue thought this match perhaps the last chance to return to the title race. If this uttered even Fernando Torres, just a month ago who moved to Stamford Bridge, then to say nothing of the recognized leaders of the team Ancelotti.
If, however, to talk about Manchester United, then using the lighter calendar Arsenal in the Premier League, Devils absolutely can not lose points, even if rivals Chelsea and myself.
Therefore, no buildup was not. Already in the opening match, van der Sar was forced into the game after hitting Malouda, but gradually the visitors took control of the ball. Manchester United midfield superbly played in a pass, constantly finding the free partners. In this tradition, assisted by midfielder extreme fullbeki (especially Evra) and Wayne Rooney, now and then give it back. However, after a counter-field just a little near passed with Wayne after lumbago Evra is in the penalty area.
But the pressure on the gates of Cech's not subsided, and in one attack mankuniantsev too much freedom given all the same Rooney, who shook the ball beautifully and gasped at the left top six.
As gradually as United seized the advantage, as leisurely in the late half of its intercepted and Chelsea and United saved by a miracle (as well as van der Sar and Vidic), when, after a free kick from Lampard and Save Keeper Ivanovic beat the Devils, it seemed likely, but my Dutch and the Serbs were a different opinion - the first reflected in the Neman, the second flight of the ball-feeding blocked into the net.
But the visitors did not heed bells at the beginning of the second half continued to lie in ambush. Yes, that's only in this ambush suddenly for Manchester United was mishandled Kozachok - David Louis, which nobody noticed. Brazilian beautiful gathering mankuniantsev punished for the failure of the discount, irresistibly struck in the lower right corner.
United failed to adequately answer his opponent, while Chelsea added even more, and simply did crush Devils. In one of the same attacks Zhirkov found Smalling leg and was on the lawn. Episode occurred in the penalty area and the referee saw a foul shot. Sentence as confidently performed Lampard.
After that Blue did not think complacency (the hosts stepped up the attack, who replaced Drogba), and once again a higher power intervened in the matter of saving the guests on true goals after hitting Zhirkov.
Further evidence of broken MJ in the end the match - Remove Vidic. The Serb, who had been in the passive yellow card, frankly flunked Drogba, for which he was asked for from the field. It was happy not only fans of Chelsea, but certainly also fans of Liverpool, which Sir Alex will play on Sunday.
