Today's match could have won us the Premier League but United being United and having to do things the hard way, that wasnt going to happen. Before the match i was expecting United to draw but as soon as i saw the team news i was worried, and rightly so.
Our top scorer Ronaldo who has 38 goals was left on the bench and next to him on the bench was a player who scored 18 goals this season- Tevez.
We didnt turn up in the first half, Chelsea had most of the possession and until the 46th minute only one really good chance when Joe Cole hit the post.
Not long into the match, Vidic was carried off injured with what i think is concussion. Drogba accidently kneed Vidic on the chin and his mouth and bottom of his face was covered in blood. Vidic being Vidic wanted to carry on but he couldnt stand up on his own let alone play about 85 minutes of a football match.
Nani was absolutly rubbish, his crosses were awful and when we were in good positions to score or have a shot at goal he took it on himself and the shot was well well wide and well high.
Four minutes were added on for stoppage time, mainly because of the Vidic injury and all i can say is that Chelsea scored, Michael Ballack was gifted a free header and punished us.
In the second half we were retaining the ball better but not really worrying Chelsea, until Ricardo Carvalho didnt spot Rooney and gifted him a goal. Carvalho passed the ball back to his goalie Cech but Rooney got to the ball first and scored, whilst scoring he injured himself. This injury looks like it could be a reoccurance of that hip injury he got last week against Blackburn.
Ronaldo and Tevez were brought on but they couldnt break through the Chelsea defence.
It looked like the match was going to finish as a draw until Chelsea were given a penalty in the 86th minute. The penalty was given against Carrick for a handball, the ref didnt give the penalty but the linesman did. The ball did hit his had i will give them that but i dont think Carrick could have moved his hand out of the way and it was not a deliberate handball.
Ballack stepped up to the plate and he scored, and i dont think there was a chance of him missing but then i thought that about Ronaldo and his penalty against Barcelona.
After that we came straight at them and had not one but two shots cleared off the line. The second shot was cleared but Shevchenko from a Fletcher header but i honestly thought it was in. It wasnt to be and we ended up loosing, Chelsea are now level on points with us and we are only on top with our superior goal difference.
The match finished Chelsea 2-1 Manchester United

There are two things to point out that happened after the match:
1. Whilst warming down there was apparently a barny between Chelsea groundman staff and the United players because the players refused to get of the pitch.
2. I actually found this story quite funny until i thought it through. After the match, in the tunnel Rio Ferdinand went to kick the wall but a female steward walked in front and he ended up kicking her. Now, what on earth was Rio thinking, if he had kicked the wall he would have probably broken his toe(s) and wouldnt have been able to play a few matches. Rio has apologised to her.
