At Stamford Bridge, the blue-red battle between Chelsea and Manchester United ended in an ups and downs and controversial way.

For the Red Devils, who were once three goals behind, the result of 3:3 was almost the same as a victory. For the Blues, it was another unforgettable "failure", although they still maintained the 2012 main game, As well as an unbeaten record against Manchester United at home in the league in the past 10 years, the huge 22-point gap with the leader Manchester United basically declared the end of Chelsea's hope of winning the championship.

Although Manchester United had an overwhelming advantage over Chelsea with 4 consecutive wins in the main match before this campaign, Stamford Bridge is like a natural chasm for the Red Devils, especially when visiting here in the league.

The last time Manchester United lost consecutive away games in the top league was the 16-game winless run against West Ham United from 1969 to 1987. Now another London club has become a nightmare for Manchester United.

It is always important to have a strong dialogue to start the game and score the first goal, especially for Manchester United. As a result, a "cooperative" mistake by Evra, De Gea and Evans helped Chelsea score the first goal.

According to statistics, Manchester United did not win any of the 4 games in which they conceded first this season. In the nearly 36 games between the two sides, the side that scored first ended up losing only 3 games. Everything is in favor of Chelsea. direction of development.

Two more goals were scored in the first five minutes of the second half, making it the first time Chelsea had defeated Manchester United three times in a single game in 19 games since April 2006.

However, the Manchester United players who refused to bow their heads played more tenaciously. As a result, Rooney scored twice from penalty kicks to set a new record in the Premier League era for a team to rely on penalty kicks for 4 consecutive times. Super substitute El Nandez used another unstoppable header to set the final score at 3:3.

This also makes it the third time in the Premier League era that Manchester United has not necessarily lost in the unfavorable situation of three goals behind after playing Sheffield Wednesday in 1992 (3:3) and Tottenham in 2001 (5:3), and has achieved such an achievement. In addition to the Red Devils, Norwich City (twice) also has such an unyielding fighting spirit. For Chelsea, it is also the first time for Chelsea to fail to maintain the victory with a 3:0 lead, at least in the Premier League era. .

………………

Regardless, this red-blue battle is an impressive one.

Chelsea, which has always been good at playing against the wind, was forced to take points away from Manchester United. Manchester United, which has the best away defense and record, was penetrated three times by its opponents at Stamford Bridge. Manchester United was able to score three goals in the away game in the last few games. The most intense offensive firepower in a decade.

Of course, there has been no shortage of goals in the strong dialogue this season.

According to statistics, the number of goals scored between the top four teams last season this season has reached an average of 5.75 goals per game, which is an out-and-out goal feast.

Especially this round, the top four teams in the league have all scored at least 3 goals.

Arsenal, the first team to play, was once again tied 0:0 by Bolton in the last round. After suffering a trough of 1 draw and 3 losses, Arsenal finally rebounded and slaughtered Blackburn 7:1 at home. While venting his endless frustration, he also stepped on the opponent into the abyss of hell.

Manchester City then played at home and defeated the farmer Fulham 3:0 cleanly. In today's game, Manchester United and Chelsea stabbed each other three times, vowing to carry out the attack to the end!

………………

Before the start of Manchester United's away game against Chelsea, the media learned that Bell would be absent from the game. At that time, everyone was guessing who would be the protagonist of the game in the absence of Bell, the leading forward of both sides. Rooney and Torres are the favorites.

But after the game, people discovered that their guesses were wrong, because the referee used his "amazing" performance to tell everyone that the protagonist of this game was called: Howard Webb!

Even Rooney, who scored twice with penalty kicks, could not cover up the glory of the referee Weber!

In the first half, Chelsea was scolded by Ferguson for not calling an obvious foul. In the second half, he was criticized by Villas-Boas after the game for awarding two penalty kicks to Manchester United. The referee Howard who officiated the red-blue battle at Stamford Bridge Weber has once again become the target of teams, media and fans.

The number one whistle in England is now labeled as the number one in England.

In recent seasons, the confrontation between Manchester United and Chelsea seems to have formed a fixed pattern: goals are always controversial!

From Drogba's obvious offside kick in the 2009-2010 season, to Macheda's suspicion of handball before scoring; from last season's lucky escape from penalty kicks after Ramirez broke into the penalty area and was violated, to Manchester United's first leg of this season The goal was suspected of being offside, and the referee who enforced the red and blue battles often became the focus.

Howard Webb's appointment to officiate this game caused huge controversy before the game. In addition to being previously known as "Manchester United's Queen Referee", he also tricked Balotelli and dragged Manchester City into trouble this season.

However, as a law enforcer who officiated the finals of two major events, the Champions League and the World Cup in 2010, the FA has always supported Webber. FA official Bernstein said: "Webber is a great referee and a great player in the sports world. Ambassador, he is held in the highest esteem by British football and around the world. Questioning his integrity or suggesting he is being unfair is reckless and unfounded."

………………

However, it turns out that Webber betrayed the FA's trust.

The most controversial moment of the first half was the time when Gary Cahill brought down Welbeck on the edge of the penalty area in the 14th minute. Webber, who was in an excellent position at the time, made the decision to "turn a blind eye". ESPN website bluntly stated: "Replays proved that Gary Cahill did not touch the ball. Webber was in a good position and could completely see whether it was a penalty kick or not." It's easy to say, but as a scoring opportunity, there is no dispute that Cahill was booked."

Because of this missed call, Ferguson was so angry that he kept complaining to the fourth official Dodd on the sidelines. Welbeck also stepped forward to complain to Webber.

One fan laughed and said: "Before the transfer window closed, Ferguson sold Webber? How could I not know?"

Later, Rooney also vented his dissatisfaction by slamming the ball after a favorable offensive ball was stopped by Webber.

However, the penalty that seemed unfavorable to Manchester United in the first half was quickly repaid with double the effect in the second half.

If Evra was brought down by Sturridge and awarded a penalty kick, it was excusable, then Ivanovic's violation almost 10 minutes later was purely an unfounded crime. At that time, the Blues defender did stretch his leg. action, but the reason for Welbeck's fall was entirely due to subjective initiative. After kicking Ivanovic's left foot, the Manchester United forward fell to the ground. As a result, Manchester United won another penalty kick.

Chelsea coach Villas-Boas believed after the game that Webber was deliberately trying to find balance for the missed calls in the first half.

………………

Since Villas-Boas said that Weber was looking for balance in the first half in the second half, it means that Manchester United was indeed unfairly punished in the first half, so Manchester United must also be dissatisfied with Weber.

After the game, when Ferguson attended the post-game press conference, he still had some lingering fears about the game. He told reporters: "It's a pity that we played so well, but we still lost 2 points. Except for the first ten minutes of the second half, we played well most of the time. At the beginning of the second half, we suddenly lost 2 points. But in the end we equalized the score and I always believed we were the better team."

Sir Alex Ferguson also said: "You must know that it is not easy to pull back 3 goals. The boys worked hard. Objectively speaking, this was a great game. Chelsea played equally fantastic and they have always played well, but we performed better Good. People who came to watch Chelsea get an interesting game and I'm delighted for the players."

Regarding Manchester United's two penalty kicks, Ferguson said: "Actually, it is not controversial that we won two penalty kicks in the second half. We should have won four penalty kicks."
