Author: Man U scored one of their classic comebacks. Down three goals to nil the mighty boys from Old Trafford came back rescued a point against the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
The final score was a three all tie with Chelsea.
This tie helped my guys from Arsenal.
Man U was attempting a sweep of the Blues for the first time since 1987.
An own goal by Jonnie Evans in the 36th minute set the tone for the match.
Juan Mata gave the Blues a two zero lead in the 46th minute.
A goal by David Luiz made three nil then all hell broke loose in the final thirty-two minutes.
Two PK’s by the Rooney man and well-placed header by Chicharito saved Sir Alex and the boys butts.
Sure Man U lost some ground on City but this tie may have saved the Red Devils season.
A loss would give the Citizens a three-point lead over Man U instead they trail City by two points.
City is top dog with 57 points.
Man U is second with 55 points.
Third place belongs to Spurs with 49 points.
Tottenham and Liverpool will battle it out later today.
Chelsea is fourth 43.
Newcastle is fifth with 42 and my guys from Arsenal are sixth with 40.
This delicious tie keeps my Gunners three points behind the Blues and two points behind Toons.
We are in a fight for the last spot in the Champions League.
There are fourteen match’s left in the EPL season.
Newcastle defeated Aston Villa 2-1.
Sir Alex was pissed at the linesmen for not sending off Gary Cahill. This is what Sir Alex said about Howard Webb, “It’s two points dropped because we played so well, other than the ten minutes after half-time. It’s not easy getting back from 3-0 down – that’s a massive effort from my players,” Ferguson told Sky Sports.
“It was a sending off. The linesman has given two penalty kicks against us at Old Trafford in the last two years, one against Arsenal and one against Liverpool – from 45 yards away, but he can’t see that? I don’t blame Howard Webb, I blame the assistant.
“There was a pull on Ashley Young, in front of the linesman again, and he doesn’t give it. Yet he gives them at Old Trafford. I don’t understand it, I don’t know where they get them from.
“His (Young’s) jersey is pulled. Was he diving? If it’s a pull of the shirt he’s not diving obviously. The two penalties in the second half were justified, but we could have had four.”
Sir Alex on Hernandez equalizer, “To be honest, I should have played Chicharito from the start. When he came on , he kept them on their toes. His movement, his positional play…” Ferguson commented.
Let’s hope my guys can keep up the pressure and get the final Champions League spot.
Seventeen points separate my Gunners from the main man City.
Gunner for life.
