Chelsea 5 Manchester United 4 football highlights 31/10/2012



-->


After a thrilling night for the gunners last night who being 4 goals down were able to pull it back and eventually trounce Reading 7-5, you wouldn't think there would be another night of high drama but they delivered at Stamford Bridge.

United took the lead after a mistake by Cech early on which Giggs dispatched. Luiz levelled with a penalty on the half hour mark and then Hernandez put United in front 2-1 as they went into the break. As the second half started the blues quickly levelled things with a corner and a headed goal from Cahill who headed the ball in the far corner. Rafael tried his best to keep it from crossing the line but video replays showed it was a yard behind the line before he headed it out.

United shrugged off this setback and conjured up a beautiful 3rd goal which was elegantly dispatched by Nani. United looked competent and looked like they were cruising into the quarter finals as Chelsea were kept at bay until the final few seconds when youngster Wootton fouled Ramires in the box to concede a penalty which Eden Hazard dispatched to take the game into extra time.

Wootton again slipped up soon after extra time began by giving a poor header back to keeper Lindegaard which Sturridge rounded Lindegaard and made it 5-4 to the blues. Ramires then shortly afterwards, capitalised on the counter attack as United were pressing for an equaliser, and rounded Lindegaard for Chelsea's sixth and in the last minute Hernandez earned a penalty which Giggs dispatched to give United a shred of hope.

They couldn't do anything with it and the game finished 5-4. Wow.

Reading 5 Arsenal 7 football highlights 30/10/2012

Reading 5 Arsenal 7 football highlights 30/10/2012



A quite astonishing game developed at the Madejski last night as the royals entertaining Arsenal, raced into a 4-0 lead within the first 37 minutes. Jason Roberts, A Koscielny own goal, Leigertwood and Hunt netted for Reading and it looked absolutely hopeless for the gunners from then on in as a good few Arsenal fans left early chanting "we want our arsenal back!". It turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes they will ever make!


-->


Theo Walcott pulled back a goal just before half time which gave the visitors a glimmer of hope they full use of. In the second half Giroud Koscielny netted to make it 4-3 to Reading and with it looking like Arsenal had given to little too late and seconds to go in normal time, Walcott forced home an unbelievable equaliser to push the game into extra time.

As extra time opened Chamakh scored to make it 5-4 to the gunners and turn the tie completely on it's head. The gunners were in delerium only for the tie to AGAIN be thrown up in the air with a leveller from Pogrebnyak to make it 5-5.

With the game drawing to a close Walcott thumped the ball home to make it 6-5 and then Chamakh chipped the keeper to make it 7-5.

A thoroughly EPIC game from the Madejski and one that everyone watching was blessed to see!

Next stop for the gunners: Old Trafford! Where United put 8 past them last year. I can hardly wait!

Watch Manchester United vs Arsenal Live English Football Stream 3/11/2012







After United's controversial but vital win at Stamford Bridge they will be desperate to leapfrog the blues and to also not lose ground to City who are on level points with United.

Arsenal will be eager to erase the memory of last year's horror show at Old Trafford which saw them get mauled 8-2 and with them hovering just below the top 4 they will want to see whether they can make up ground on them. One of Arsenal's scorers in that game was Robin Van Persie who got a hero's applause at the end of the match. However with his switch to Old Trafford he will have went from Hero to villain in the eyes of the Emirates faithful and will no doubt receive a raucous reception from the away end.

He will be eager to put one over on his former employers and continue his scoring run which has seen him net in the last 2 league games.

The match takes place at Old Trafford on Saturday November 3rd and kicks off at 12:45pm. To watch a live stream of the match click "watch now" button below..

Newly promoted premiership club Southampton have to travel up North to Leeds for this tough Capital One League Cup fixture and with Leeds on good form this season under new boss Neil Warnock, they will have their work cut out to grind out a result.

It's been 8 years since the West Yorkshire club were in the top flight of English football and they will be hoping a positive result against the saints will be a good omen of how their promotion charge will go this season and their long wait to return to England's elite will end next year much like Southampton's has this year.

Currently the blades are doing well thus far this season and are 3 points off the top of the summit in league one. The South Yorkshire club will be desperate to return to the championship after not being in the third tier of English football since 1989 and also to get on a level pegging with bitter city rivals Sheffield Wednesday.

Pompey's fall from grace has been far more severe and ominous since their administration difficulties and from their heady days in the last decade in the premiership, they now find themselves struggling in the third tier of English football in 14th place and will be desperate for some encouragement from tonight's game at Bramall Lane.

Mark Clattenburg Racism Allegation Storm in Chelsea vs Manchester United Match

Mark Clattenburg Referee Racism Allegation Storm in Chelsea vs Manchester United Match


-->

Referee of Sunday's thrilling 3-2 win for Manchester United over Chelsea is at the centre of a racism complaint lodged by Chelsea towards the FA. It has been alleged by Chelsea players that he referred to Spanish midfielder Juan Mata as a "Spanish Tw*t" and had a racially charged exchange with player John Obi Mikel when booking the midfielder in the match.

If found guilty of this abusive language, the referee could face dire consequences from the FA and all this on the back of Rio and Anton Ferdinand reinstating their support of the "Kick It Out" anti racism appeal and Rio Ferdinand shaking Ashley Cole's hand before the match to draw a line under the John Terry racism storm.

There has been such an uproar over the past year with racism in the game that another issue is a depressing reminder that it is an element in the game and in society which is hard to completely eradicate.

It is also important to note that Chelsea were upset in a couple of Clattenburg's poor decisions in the match which lead to Fernando Torres being sent off for diving, which many will feel was harsh, and for Javier Hernandez's goal which shows the striker as marginally offside.

Chelsea are currently reeling from a tumultuous football match on Sunday in which they were the victim of a couple of poor refereeing decisions which benefitted Manchester United and gave them the 3 points at Stamford Bridge and closed the gap between the sides to one point at the top of the Barclays premier English football league.

The blues will be out for revenge when they host United again on Wednesday in the Capital One fourth round football tie. No doubt the United football team won't be as strong on Wednesday as they will look to prioritise so Chelsea will have a better chance of succeeding against the Reds and make it through to the Fifth round.

Chelsea 2 Manchester United 3 English Premier League Highlights 28/10/2012

Chelsea 2 Manchester United 3 English Premier League Highlights 28/10/2012


-->

As far as stakes go, the hype couldn't have been built bigger but the game lived up to all the hype and more than did it justice. This was definitely the premiership game of the season so far and was edge of the seat stuff for everybody watching.

United roared into a 2 goal lead in the first 12 minutes with goals from a David Luiz own goal and Van Persie before the United goal was under siege towards the end of the first half with Chelsea looking to pull one back and they did just before the break with a free kick goal from Juan Mata.

Early doors in the second half Ramires equalised for the hosts but then everything went wrong for the blues as first Ivanovic was sent off for hauling down Ashley Young as the last man as he surged in on the goal and shortly afterwards, Fernando Torres was dismissed for diving in a collision with Johnny Evans.

United were able to eventually make their advantage count and scored in the 75th minute with Hernandez following in from short range. Ferguson has complained about not getting the rub of the green in recent league trips to Stamford Bridge. He can't do the same today, especially when Hernandez was actually a fraction offside for the winning goal.

An absolute stunning match and United have closed the gap to just one point at the top.
