Because of Cleverley's After an accidental injury, Sneijder unexpectedly got the chance to start first; for Chelsea, Drogba continued to be exempt from the game after concussion. Terry, Lampard and Ramirez, who were rested in the Champions League in mid-week, returned to the starting lineup as they wished.

………………

Amid the cheers of the home team fans at Old Trafford, it was Chelsea, who were playing away games, who took the lead. Only 3 minutes into the first half, Chelsea completed a threatening shot. Ashley Cole passed a cross from the left to the far end. Ramirez flew 8 meters away from the goal and shot. De Gea used his feet to clear the ball out of the sideline.

Although the visiting team took the lead in getting a good chance to score, it was the home team Manchester United that really took the lead in knocking on the opponent's goal.

In the 7th minute, Bell broke through the left rib of the frontcourt and was knocked down, winning a free kick for Manchester United. This free kick is in a relatively remote position. Although it is parallel to the penalty area line, it is already close to the left sideline, making it difficult to score directly.

Bell did not directly attack the goal. Although he has scored many free kicks since the beginning of the new season, he knew that this position was not within his effective shooting range.

Bell took a free kick, and the ball drew a beautiful arc, crossed the Chelsea defense line, and fell to the right of Chelsea's small penalty area. Among the chaotic crowd, Smallin took the lead to lean out and scored his first Premier League goal with a header from 5 meters without being marked.

There was so much chaos in the Chelsea penalty area at that time that the Chelsea players did not think whether Smalling's goal would be offside. In fact, the slow motion showed that Smalling had already stretched out half of his shoulder at the moment Bell took the kick.

However, for such a less obvious offside, especially when there was chaos in the Chelsea penalty area, it was difficult for both the referee and the linesman to make an accurate decision. That is to say, it can be seen a little bit in slow motion.

………………

After conceding the goal, Chelsea immediately launched a counterattack and put great pressure on Manchester United. Under such circumstances, new aid Sneijder, who had just joined Manchester United and had not yet cooperated well enough with the team, suffered a huge test.

In the 12th minute, under close pressure from Chelsea players, Sneijder, who was not very familiar with his new teammates, made a pass error and was intercepted by Torres at the front of Manchester United's penalty area.

Torres, who intercepted the ball, immediately broke through Manchester United's back line and reached the right side of the penalty area. However, the Spanish forward's subsequent shot missed the target and did not pose much threat to Manchester United's goal.

However, Sneijder's low-level mistake still made many Manchester United teammates very dissatisfied. It was simply a gift to the opponent. If the opponent's forward had been a little stronger, Manchester United's gate would have been declared lost.

However, Bell, as the captain on the field, stepped forward to comfort Sneijder and asked him not to be too upset about this mistake. At the same time, he also reminded him that the rhythm of the Premier League is completely different from that of Serie A. He must be decisive when playing the ball in the backcourt and must not Procrastination. At the same time, you should pay attention to maintaining an appropriate distance from your teammates to ensure that you have a safe and suitable route for the ball when being pressed by your opponent.

Although Sneijder has never played in the Premier League before, his English level is still good, and he can completely understand Bell's words. The Dutch midfielder expressed his gratitude for Bell's comfort and reminder.

In the next ten minutes, Manchester United was suppressed by Chelsea who launched a counterattack after conceding a goal. The Blues continuously besieged the Manchester United goal. But whether it was Lampard's long shot, Ivanovic's header in the penalty area, or Sturridge's sweep, they failed to knock Manchester United's door open.

In the 26th minute of the game, Manchester United encountered their biggest test since the start of the game. Mata made a direct pass, Torres crossed the left side of the penalty area, Ramirez and Sturridge formed a double attack in the middle, and Sturridge, who was slightly behind, was obviously in a better position because he was completely In an undefended state. But in the end, Ramirez didn't know much about the situation behind him, so he flew out of the penalty area and shot. The quality of the Brazilian's shot was average. Although it was close enough to the goal, it was blocked by De Gea who quickly returned to defense and blocked the baseline with his body.

After completing the shot, the Brazilian buried his head in the grass. Obviously he was also very disappointed with his shot. Behind him, Sturridge put his hands down, blaming his teammates for taking a good opportunity from him. Unfortunately, Ramirez, who had his head buried in the turf, didn't see it.

As for Manchester United, all the players, coaching staff, and more than 70,000 fans in the stands applauded De Gea's rescue. Even Schmeichel, the legendary Manchester United goalkeeper in the stands, couldn't help but applaud Manchester United's new goalkeeper.

………………

Chelsea's offensive did not stop there, they created consecutive scoring opportunities in the following minutes. In the 30th minute, Sturridge passed a cross from the left, and Torres flew over with his right foot and missed the ball. In the 32nd minute, Torres headed the ball from the center, Sturridge unloaded the ball and volleyed with his left foot, but De Gea saved it.

Chelsea, which missed several excellent opportunities in a row, suffered another blow five minutes later. In the 37th minute, new aid Sneijder made a wide-range and precise diagonal pass on the left side of his own half. Nani, who was making his 100th Premier League appearance, got the ball and got rid of Mata's defense. When Chelsea players could not block it, Dribbling the ball all the way, he volleyed with his right foot from 21 meters away from the goal on the right side of the penalty area, kicking out a world-famous kick that helped Manchester United break Cech's goal for the second time in this game. The score changed. It’s 2:0!

After the goal, Nani celebrated with a somersault, and Old Trafford went completely crazy.

After being attacked by Chelsea for twenty minutes, the team was at a disadvantage and the goal was in danger several times. However, they unexpectedly scored a goal to expand the lead. This made all Manchester United people ecstatic.

Chelsea were very unconvinced after being scored for the second time. After the game restarted, they once again besieged Manchester United's goal. In the 40th minute, Ashley Cole's left shot missed the far corner. One minute later, Mata made a pass from the left, and Ramirez's shot from the penalty area missed again.

At this time, the shooting ratio between Manchester United and Chelsea was 3:12, and the visiting team was far ahead. Even in terms of ball possession rate, Manchester United trails Chelsea 48% to 52%.

However, the score was very cruel to the Chelsea people. They fell behind 0:2. Manchester United scored 2 goals in 3 attempts, but the Blues scored 12 goals but failed to score.

The bigger blow to Chelsea came in the 45th minute.

At the last moment when the game was about to enter the injury time of the first half, Manchester United center back Phil Jones came forward with an unexpected assist. He cooperated with Rooney on the right near the penalty area and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

After all, Phil Jones was a defender and his dribbling ability was limited. After entering the penalty area, he staggered and lost the ball when three Chelsea players surrounded him. Terry was overjoyed and took the lead to make a big clearance.

But what was completely unexpected was that Terry's clearance ball hit Nani just a few meters away, bounced back to Chelsea's goal and landed right in front of Rooney.

Rooney, who was unmarked, naturally accepted the gift without hesitation. He pushed the ball into the empty net with his right foot and scored his ninth league goal of the season.
