In the end it was a very tough one to call. United bossed the first half and were unfortunate to go in level at half time, but after that Chelsea dominated the game. They had 24 shots on goal and hit the woodwork twice. Then their captain, who had been magnificent all match, had the chance to win it from 12 yards but slips at the crucial moment and misses. When something like that happens you can only say, it just wasn't meant to be.

John Terry and Avram Grant are locked in an embrace as the rain hammers down. Terry shoulders are trembling and he is clearly absolutely heartbroken. United of course, are jubilant; Ronaldo, Anderson and Nani are dancing a jig of delight.
