Chelsea see off listless UnitedThese clubs are so well-matched that only controversy can separate them. An initially listless Chelsea equalised through David Luiz and then won the game with a dubious penalty in the 79th minute. Frank Lampard slipped the ball to a substitute, Yuri Zhirkov, and he appeared to run into Chris Smalling. The referee, Martin Atkinson, deemed it to be a foul and Lampard crashed the spot-kick straight into the middle of the goal.
In stoppage time the United centre-half Nemanja Vidic was sent off for a second yellow card, for a foul on Ramires. He will miss Sunday's match against Liverpool at Anfield. Arsenal's interests were well served too. They are still four points behind United, the Premier League leaders, and now they have a game in hand.
