^Paul Scholes scored a brilliant goal in the 6-1 win^

Team Changes: Man United came into this match knowing that this match could be a real threat to their unbeaten streak. Tevez retained his place after a brilliant hat-trick against Werder Bremen. Berbatov again had to make do with a place on the bench as Rooney returned to the starting line-up. Lloris and Pique were both left out of the squad and were replaced by Van Der Sar and Ferdinand. Park was replaced by Giggs on the left wing and Scholes came back into the side after being rested for the match against Werder Bremen.

The first half was dominated by Man United and they had a total of 7 shots and 6 of those were on-target. Cech had to pull off a number of fantastic saves but even though United’s domination it looked like both teams would go into half-time all level. In the 42nd minute Man United went ahead. Tevez played a brilliant through ball to Rooney and all he had to do was just lift the ball over Cech and Man United went into half-time 1-0 up.

It didn’t take long for United to extend their lead in the second half, 3 minutes to be exact. Giggs crossed the ball into the box and Ronaldo rose above every one and headed it into the top corner out of the reach of Cech. The win was secured around 10 minutes later. Ronaldo came in off the wing and played the ball into the path of Tevez and he slotted the ball into the far corner giving the keeper no chance.

Scholes capped off a wonderful performance by him in the 63rd minute when he scored a brilliant goal. The ball was crossed into the box but the ball was cleared only to Scholes and he took one touch before driving the ball into the bottom corner of the net. Rooney got his second of the match in the 80th minute. The ball was played into the path of Rooney he smashed the ball past Cech and Man United were 5-0 up.

Ji-Sung Park and Anderson were brought on for the last 10 minutes of the match and Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. Chelsea got a late consolation goal in the 90th minute. Ferdinand’s back pass was a bit short and Drogba smashed the ball past Van Der Sar. Rooney cancelled that goal straight away though. Tevez dribbled past the Chelsea defence before cutting it back for Rooney to tap into the net. Man United play Blackburn in the cup next and are expected to field a weakened team.
