a meeting of two sides who have been very much at the heart of the english football story in recent
years his blues against reds chelsea vs manchester united live from stamford bridge on ea tv
hello it's a real pleasure to be with you from west london from stamford bridge
my name is derek ray with me in the commentary position is the former arsenal and england
defender lee dixon and it's all about action from the premier league in this case it's chelsea
versus manchester united yeah thank you derek lovely to be here i can't wait for this one a
nice quick tempo from both sides will be ideal for me let's hope we get that should be a great game
well you never quite know who's going to dominate a game in advance but i think you can maybe make
an argument for this fellow lee what do you think we'll see from him well how'd you stop him four
goals in three games i suggest the defenders not just one of them twos and threes might be the case
okay
here's the lineup for chelsea as billy greta starts alongside
thiago silva in central defense and as for the attack well it has a bold look about it
with three forwards listed from the beginning and here's the lineup for manchester united
david de caya begins in goal stephan de frey plays alongside harry maguire in central defence
poor pogba plays with fred in central midfield and beginning the game up front is jamie vardy
hoping for plenty of excitement here at stamford bridge
rudiger has it
that's billy cuesta
bryce with it
reese james
oh a nice looking pass
and a james to open the scoring a very bright start to this one
well as the ball comes from he's not got an awful lot of time or space but he gets the
power from somewhere and it's a brilliant finish let's have another view of that goal
well he's delighted isn't he we can see that calm is needed
now just to consolidate this lead cool heads
and they are back underway chelsea with the advantage let's join alan mcinally
because i'm hearing there's been a goal in the league's united match allen it's a goal
for league united 11 minutes played one nil many thanks alan this might have potential
that's a useful cross mopping up defensively
oh tremendous vision united have it once again marcus rashford fred
and rashford he's going forward well here fred well he's outplayed and that thought him
that's the strength to hang on to it ikone pogba and the ruling is offside here
news coming through of a goal in the league's united match let's
hear about it from alan mcinally it's a goal for newcastle united 21 minutes play
1-1 mcanally keeping us right up to date and chelsea get the decision from the referee
and offside unfortunately
disappointing control and they've lost the ball chelsea have it back now
moving the ball nicely trying to carve out the equalizer
rashford and after the cross a tremendous block danger aversing
well chelsea have struggled with possession of it but again we've seen it before
we'll see it again their counter-attack player has been absolutely fantastic
can he put it in goalkeepers ball every day of the week
contact and he's broken free able to clear the danger at least for now it comes to absolutely
nothing so the corner played into the box attending to his defensive chores
aspiely cueta really showing off his wide range of passing skills
and golo kante poland james there is going to be stoppage time but only the one minute
defray and the first 45 minutes have come and gone here at stamford bridge
you've certainly got to give this man high marks for his work up to this point lee
well derek is certainly was a good 45 minutes from the lad obviously got the goal to give him
the lead but he's looked very back underway then and what to do for united given the scoreline
paul pogba bruno fernandes
here's chilwell hold on read it magnificently and intercepted we're getting the ball forward
might be a chance here can they stop it going in
danger reverse it for now vardy
well he's given us away poland
good use of advantage in united's favor
getting news of a goal in the liverpool match alan it's a goal for liverpool 61 minutes one
nil mcadaley keeping us right up to date here's a change for manchester united he read it superbly
now let's see what they can do here oh lovely weighted ball they might be in
oh my goodness he's got that so well a goal of the highest class fantastic technique
well here's the replay it's a gorgeous ball over the top
and the finish i can't tell you how hard that technique is it's an absolute cracker
it's going their way two-nil
united enjoying the bulk of possession here but it's just whether they can convert that possession
into clear-cut chances you sense they need to pick up the pace a little start utilizing the
wide areas more the back line's doing a decent job hopefully the forwards can do that as well
right i'm hearing there's been a goal at turf moor alan macanally can provide the details alan
it's a goal for west ham united 69 minutes please 1-1 cheers again alan offside by a fraction
and united will switch things around personnel wise
we're now inside the final 20 minutes of the game it needs an accurate cross
and that's the hatred tearing apart this defense time and again they simply can't handle it
well here's the replay it's a great ball into the danger area
and then it's a good heady finish to be fair key for no chance
lovely goal slightly different vantage point in terms of the goal that was
scored
well if there were any lingering doubts about the outcome surely they now have been removed
a news coming through of a girl in the league's united match alan mcinally it's a second goal for
leeds united 75 minutes played 2-1 thank you alan mcinally and that puts them in position
and pulisic has it chillwell
a goal an exceptional performance this four to the good now
well here's a replay it's a really dangerous ball into the penalty area
and the thunderous strike to beat the keeper hands down he's absolutely brilliant
well let's take another look at that girl shall we
oh to be a fly on the wall in that dressing room if it stays like this
derrick he's not happy just look at him a lopsided contest four nil
just 10 minutes to go and a change to the score line at cairo road there's been a goal there
alan macanally can fit us in on it it's a second goal for manchester city it's been scored by
sergio aguero a mix-up between the keeper and his defense gave an easy opportunity that he
made no mistake from seven minutes remain two-nil regular updates from alan mcinally along the way
has the strength to hang on to it will he play it in cavani and deliver towards the back post
and there it is a goal but will it be purely a consolation at the stage of the proceedings
they haven't been at the best well here's the replay and it all starts with the delivery into
the box just begging for someone to get on the end of it and i bet he can't believe the
time and space he's got to simply nod the ball into the net no jump needed too easy
well not too much defending going on in the grand scheme of things 4-1
and the referee has deemed that an additional four minutes are an order
he's protecting it effectively
rashford might be onto something with that ball excellent assessment of the situation at the back
and that is that the referee brings this match to an end
and chelsea get the three points lee what did you make of that performance as a whole
well it was a very assured performance wasn't it particularly impressive up front
their forwards really hit form today the result was never much in doubt if i'm
honest
