Play by play
- 94'
Rooney is complaining bitterly to the referee, but Chelsea were the better side, certainly in the second half. It was a cracking game and the title race is wide open!
- 94'
<B>FULL-TIME</B>. A great second half performance by Chelsea has turned the tide and the Blues send United crashing. David Luiz was impressive, but perhaps could have been sent off, before Lampard got all three points.
- 94'
United's last hoof up field is cut out and Drogba has the ball in the opposing corner again.
- 93'
Drogba cuts the ball back to Torres in the box, but he shows poor control. He gets it back, but then misplaces his cross.
- 93'
Vidic now won't play at Anfield against Liverpool. That was a knocking bet.
- 92'

- 92'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Ramires gets past Vidic and the Serb hauls him down outside the box. He's off!
- 92'
Drogba causing United a real headache now in the corner. Someone could get sent off...
- 91'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Giggs goes in the book for that.
- 91'
Chelsea run the ball into the corner and Giggs hacks down Drogba.
- 90'
Drogba shoved down by Vidic as he was breaking down the right. Vidic is warned..
- 90'
<b>Four minutes left of added time</b>
- 89'
Fabio knocks it forward ro Fletcher, but the ball overruns the midfielder and he is far too tired to chase.
- 89'
Ramires comes across and just hammers the ball into row Z from the middle of the pitch.
- 88'
Nani onside, but Cole comes across with a good tackle and the danger goes. The Blues just need to hold onto the ball.
- 87'
Lampard heads the ball clear, but the ball breaks to Fletcher, who shoots over. For a moment I thought it was Scholes, and United probably wish it was.
- 86'
Fabio runs onto a ball from Rooney after good work from Giggs. Cech forced to come out and block the danger..
- 86'
Darren Fletcher imploring his side to get going.. but they do look tired.
- 85'
Torres misplaces another pass. £50 million? Not impressive tonight.. but there's still five minutes left.
- 84'
Cech needs to come and meet a corner, second time the ball comes in he's able to catch it.
- 84'
Zhirkov now forced to defend. That would have been quite a goal if it had gone in...
- 84'
Really open game now. Chelsea using attack as a form of defence, but they can't commit too many players.
- 83'
Ramires charges down the right, gets his cross in and Drogba is there, but the ball is deflected over the bar.
- 82'
Probably more luck than judgement there..
- 82'
What a block from Vidic. Zhirkov hammers a volley in and the ball flies between his legs to come off the post.
