Nothing twice a supposedly does not happen but players of Chelsea and Manchester United long denied this statement and on Sunday an hour spectacle presented almost identical to what fans watched the first meeting of these teams in the Premier League. At the end of December at Old Trafford two teams played an intense, attractive for the fans, but the match ended without goals.
again, a lot has happened in both goals and again long in the main role performed Thibaut Courtois to Chelsea and David de Gea at United.
This time, however, none of the firewall set to die. The Spaniard gave a particular toll rivals when they rushed to doing one-goal losses. De Gea from close range phenomenally defended shots Branislav Ivanović, and Cesc Fabregas less than twenty minutes before the end.
the Blues began to bustle like a top on the hour. That’s when Courtois defeated Jesse Lingard, who netted shot to defend the roundhouse. It was his second hit in a row for the first time in his career in the English league.
Earlier, the Belgian goalkeeper Chelsea confirmed opinions that is considered to be one of the top experts in his field in the world. 23-year-old perfectly defended his example. Anthony Martial shot in the first half. The young Frenchman walked the taste, because the ball was heading in the equalizer.
But bastion De Gei was also in forced the end. Spanish goalkeeper could not do anything in 91 minutes when the ball was in the penalty area Diego Costa. Team-mate of Spain took advantage of a failed offside trap defensive opponent, he went out on a clean position, past De gee while the sacrificial intervention sliding tackle Daley Blind and kicked into an empty net.
referee Michael Oliver counted as many as six minutes, during which so much has happened, it can safely be give to many a meeting. Costa even had a chance to score the winning goal, but this time it was De Gea mountain.
Besides the two Chelsea also lost points Kurt Zouma. Central defender jumped into the air duel and placing your right foot on the ground there was a hyperextension of the right knee. Zouma was helped off the pitch and most likely suffered an injury of any of the cruciate ligaments (anterior or posterior).
Manchester United could win over fifth place after defeats West Ham and Manchester City, but instead is a big disappointment, because for Louis van Gaal and his players tie in such circumstances probably hurts like a failure.
