Man United shuts out Chelsea.
by Administrator on Jan.12, 2009, under Soccer
Manchester United and Chelsea went head-to-head at Old Trafford hoping to take advantage of Liverpool’s draw to Stoke City yesterday and gain some ground on the league leaders.
Yet the reigning champions were without Rio Ferdinand who despite training all week, suffered a recurrence of his back problem meaning Jonny Evans kept his place alongside Nemanja Vidic, although Patrice Evra returned following his ban.
For the visitors, Didier Drogba was preferred up front to Nicolas Anelka whilst John Terry returned from suspension and partnered Ricardo Carvalho at the back.
The home side, meanwhile, continued to threaten with Park, Rooney and Ronaldo continually threatening the visitors’ defence.
Indeed Ronaldo might have added to the scoreline, his shot from range flying inches wide of Cech’s post
Yet with minutes to go the European champions compounded their visitors’ misery with their third of the afternoon.
A Ronaldo free kick, awarded after the Portuguese had been fouled by Belletti, was driven in and Berbatov poked the ball home from six yards to complete a comprehensive victory for Ferguson’s men.
