Match Commentary
90' Winning ugly - that's the only way to descibe it. A promising, lively first half was followed by an attritional defensive showing from the home side in the second as they sought to protect what they had. Missing a number of key men, United lacked the guile to break down a nine man defence and Mourihno will be pleased with his day's work. |
90' Whistle goes and a frustrating match is over. First blood to Mourinho and Chelsea asthey win 1-0 but it really wasn't much fun to watch |
90' Two breaks in a minute for Chelsea!! Smertin runs across the United back line and gets to the line in the box. He cuts back and nutmegs Keane to find himself accompanied by a couple of team-mates. Squares to Lampard who, despite having as long as he wanted to line up a shot, is blocked by O'Shea |
