Paul Scholes was simply superb for United today.

Indeed, that's it from me today. Manchester United have deservedly won the Community Shield with a 3-1 win over Chelsea, who didn't start strongly enough and only looked interested late in the second half.

ESPN soccernet editor John Brewin, at Wembley: <I>A fine win for Manchester United and some heartening stuff for Sir Alex Ferguson. Chelsea were rusty but could easily have been back in the game before Berbatov's clincher. A fine game to lift the veil and wash away the tears of South Africa. That is, until England v Hungary on Wednesday.</I>

Chelsea causing havoc in the United defence in the closing moments. Smalling and Vidic will be happy to see this one out...

United clear the corner but they are still under pressure...
- 88'
Zhirkov forces a corner for Chelsea after skipping through a few challenges on the left and sees his cross deflected out of play.
- 86'
The ball finds its way to Sturridge again on the edge of the box who clips it over to Drogba at the far post but he can only find the side-netting from a tight angle.
- 85'
Chelsea have renewed hope here, just one goal for Chelsea will force penalties. They have a corner...

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL! 2-1</b> Sturridge dribbles a very long way before unleashing a shot from 25 yards, which Van Der Sar parries into the path of <b>Kalou</b> who strokes it home. Game on again.
- 82'
Sturridge gets behind the United defence for the first time but can't guide his shot beyond Van Der Sar.

Paul Scholes rightly gets a fantastic ovation as he leaves the field. Superb performance by the veteran today.

It's all United now who smell a third...

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL 2-0 Manchester United!</b> New-boy Hernandez converts Valencia's cross in what can only be described as "unorthodox" fashion. He kicked the ball into his own face before it bounced over the Chelsea goal-line. Not sure how he can celebrate that with a straight face.

Chelsea running out of time here...
- 74'
Sturridge tries his luck from distance but it flies wide.
- 72'
Berbatov finds himself galloping free past Cole down the right and pulls it back to Hernandez who mishits his shot. To be fair to him, the ball from Berbatov came in at real speed and the Mexican couldn't quite re-adjust his feet in time.
