United thrashes Chelsea


United proved their class once again and have shown why they are the champions of world by humiliating Chelsea at Oldtrafford .Chelsea won't even produced a good shot . United turned up the heat on Premier League leaders Liverpool and manager Rafael Benitez as they closed the gap at the top of the table .

Before the match begins many would have thought about the formation Sir Alex put bringing on Giggs in the centre of midfield which on the opposition contained players like Ballack , Lampard and Mikel . But the 35 year once again showed why he has got a place in the team whichever be the position it is

Evera has got his revenge and a deserved one against chelsea by setting up Rooney for the 2nd goal .Any question marks that might have been lingering about Manchester United's desire and ability to regain their Premier League were answered on Sunday with an emphatic 3-0 success over rivals Chelsea. Once Nemanja Vidic opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time there was no looking back for The Red Devils. Goals after the interval from Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov capped a fine display by Sir Alex Ferguson's side.

United thought they had opened the scoring against Chelsea when Ryan Giggs crossed for Cristiano Ronaldo to nod home in the middle. But the ball was not crossed from the corner quadrangle. Wayne Rooney ran over to take the corner, but after rolling the ball into the spot he immediately pulled the ball out again for Giggs. Giggs simply crossed in the ball for Ronaldo, forcing officials to say the balling was rolling before it was touched. The element of controversy died down somewhat as United opened the scoring from the corner anyway, but should their initial effort have stood?
