First Half: Young has an effort across goal saved. Goal! 1-0, Chelsea take the lead as Eto'o scores with a shot from the edge of the box that deflects into the far top corner. Welbeck has a tame low close range shot saved. Oscar volleys over from close range. Goal! 2-0, Eto'o scores with a low shot into the centre of the goal from a low Cahill cross.
Half Time: 2-0.
Second Half: Goal! 3-0, Eto'o completes his hat trick after scoring from close range into the centre of the goal following Cahill's parried header from a corner. Goal! 3-1, Hernandez scores a tap in from close range from a Jones low shot at the far post. Red Card! Vidic is shown a straight red card for a foul on Hazard. Rafael gets a yellow card for a terrible tackle.
Full Time: 3-1.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Eto'o. Chelsea got their tactics spot on and deserved to win after a very strong performance. Eto'o produced his first hat trick for Chelsea and took the game away from United. The goals just before and half time killed the game off as it took away United's belief. Disappointed by United once again but Chelsea have always been a bogey team so it is not much of a surprise they lost. They started the game well but couldn't create a meaningful chance to show for it. The first goal they conceded was unfortunate as it took a deflection but the goal right on half team proved costly. Hernandez scored a consolation but they were well beaten today.

Eriksen has a tame low shot saved.
Half Time: 0-1.
Second Half: Goal! 0-2, Chico Flores taps into his own net from close range after trying to clear a low Walker cross. Bony has a driven shot from the edge of the box saved. Dembele is put through on goal but his low shot goes just wide of the far post. Goal! 0-3, Adebayor is played in on goal by Rose and slots a low shot under the keeper. Goal! 1-3, Bony scores with a controlled volley into the far side.
Full Time: 1-3.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Adebayor. Defensive errors from Swansea ultimately cost them the game today as they struggled to cope with the Spurs attack. At 1-0 down they were still capable of levelling but an unfortunate own goal by Chico put the result to bed. Bony scored an impressive consolation but they will need to improve. Spurs played really well and came out deserved winners. They are very much in form and it didn't stop today. Two goals from the rejuvenated Adebayor on top of an goal capped a solid display away from home.
Best Goal: Eto'o, Adebayor, Bony. Winner: Bony
