Chelsea FC vs Manchester United 2-3 [28/10/2012] All Goals & Highlights

Roberto Di Matteo's team recovered from 2-0 down to make it 2-2 early in the second half but had Branislav Ivanovic and Fernando Torres sent off before substitute Javier Hernandez scored a 75th minute winner from what appeared to be an offside position. A David Luiz own goal and Robin van Persie's ninth goal of the season had put United in command after 12 minutes but Chelsea responded in style, with Juan Mata's free-kick and Ramires' header either side of the break. Just as the visitors gained control, Ivanovic and Torres were sent off within five minutes of one another midway through the second period, ensuring the hosts played the last 22 minutes with only nine men. United took full advantage, but it needed a controversial goal from Hernandez to give Sir Alex Ferguson's team their first win at Stamford Bridge in a decade. With John Terry serving the second match of a four-game domestic suspension, Chelsea picked the same starting XI that won so handsomely at Tottenham in their previous Premier League engagement. United brought in Tom Cleverley to partner Michael Carrick in central midfield and Ashley Young got the nod on the left flank in his first league start in two months.Unconvincing, unimpressive, maybe just plain lucky. Sometimes you get what you do not deserve, especially when you throw away a seemingly impregnable position. But when you get the rub of the green, when ALL the calls that matter go your way, you have to take advantage.It was a wild and eccentric match that finished amid great controversy and, from Chelsea's point of view, a thick portfolio of grievances about the incidents that accompanied Manchester United's first league win at Stamford Bridge for a decade.f I was an especially lazy journalist – and I'm not, recent statistics showing I'm at least the 453rd hardest-working journalist in the country – then I could just get away with using my preamble from this fixture last season. No one would notice. Don't believe me? Well look:
