At the start of a crucial week in Uniteds season, the Reds sent out a defiant message of intent with an impressive 3-0 victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford. Nemanja Vidic, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov scored the goals on a weekend where United got under the skin of both major title rivals.
United, who started the match eight points behind league leaders Liverpool, could feasibly be top of the table by the time Liverpool play their next league fixture, a difficult Merseyside derby a week on Monday. That would require United also beating Wigan on Wednesday at home, and Bolton Wanderers away next weekend. But phase one beating Chelsea was comfortably completed on Sunday.
The chaotically congested first half to the season required laying of foundations, and if a game against Chelsea early in 2009 wasnt enough to announce that the title race really is gathering pace, Rafael Benitezs bizarre rant on Friday lit the blue touchpaper ahead of a significant weekend in the Premier League calendar. Liverpools 0-0 draw with Stoke City presented United and Chelsea, of course with the chance to really pressure the league leaders.Tags / Keywords:
