It was a very enjoyable match but in the end Chelsea footballers forgot how to take penalties and Manchester United won the match very easily in the penalty shootout. Of course, Manchester United deserved to win the match and they were the better side in the match. On the other hand, Chelsea players did not play so well and they lost the match.
In the first half, Manchester United had clear dominance over Chelsea. Ryan Gigs and Rooney kept Chelsea defense totally busy. Chelsea threatened only one or two times in the first half. Manchester United players missed some easy chances.
On the second half, the match was evenly poised. Ryan Gigs scored a superb ball from cross pass. Chelsea equalized with an even better goal from Malouda.
After the normal time finished, we had penalty shootout. Chelsea players missed all 3 penalties while Man United players scored their 3 penalties. I cannot remember of any football match in which one team missed all their penalties while the other team scored all of their penalties.
If Manchester United can keep its form then it will be very difficult for any team to take away the crown of EPL 2007-08. On the other hand, Chelsea must work on their injured players. A number of good players were absent for them.
