Giggs plays a great through-ball for Rooney, who races clear of the Chelsea defence. Cech rushes out and Rooney dinks the ball past the keeper and into the net. GOAL!

Owen breaks on the right and is cynically chopped down by Carvalho. It's a good foul from Chelsea's point of view as the freekick is wasted.

Owen gets his head to the freekick but can only flick the ball onto the fists of Cech, who has rushed off his line.

- 78'
Right, back to the action. Chelsea have control of the ball until Evra clatters into Ballack with what can only be described as a revenge tackle. Evra gets booked.
