Wow. Great initial header by Filani (sp?), and VP smashes the rebound off the goalie into the back of the net. In stoppage time no less. And right after Chelsea went down to ten men.
let alone a second yellow, but di maria drew the call. that's the game. even then im not sure that ivanovic's presence makes any difference on the free kick and the whole 6'4" plus hair of fellaini.
mourinho shouldn't've taken his foot off the gas so early- i said it when mikel was set to come on in the 60-odd minute- that's too long of a time to protect a 1-goal lead in a league where set pieces so often make the difference. Chelsea were looking comfortable anyway- I'd've pushed play for a while longer to see if I can wring a second moment of magic from Hazard, try to keep United at least leaning towards their heels for a while longer.
But anyway, 1-1 was a fair result and still probably a positive result for both sides- especially with city falling to the hammers.
I dont get why teams pack it in. You are giving the other team more
take quick free kick and he blows up and pulls it back. Last week Liverpool take a quick free and he plays on and they score. Where is the consistency? You either allow quick free kicks or you don't.

Still, guys like Van Persie always seem to find the back of the net. The guy is amazing.
Its the soccer version of playing the prevent.
