With the discontent around Old Trafford reaching a fever pitch in the days leading up to this match and Louis van Gaal stating he may step-down as Manchester United manager before being sacked, it looked as though it would be a do-or-die affair against a fierce enemy.
Arsenal, thrashed 4-0 at Southampton on Saturday, got back to winning ways by seeing off Bournemouth at The Emirates. When the players are fighting for me, I always stay because that is the most important thing and that is what you see -today.
While Van Gaal expects to continue, Guus Hiddink admits he is still anxious about Chelsea’s position just three points above the relegation places.
“It was a very good performance but you have to score… we don’t have the luck we need”, he said.
Thibaut Courtois, the Chelsea goalkeeper who pulled off a string of saves, agreed that Chelsea are improving at last. Finally there were spells when United showed they can remove the tactical straightjacket and start to play a little bit more like the the old United, with width and penetration, and a crowd that seemed to appreciate what they were watching.
Although both teams appeared to tire in the closing stages, after a second match in quick succession following the Boxing Day exertions, there was plenty to admire in an open game despite the scoreline. From then on in the first half, possession was dominated by the home team partially due to their superiority in the midfield, but they were unable to capitalise on the possession to due inadequacy in the final third. There were also two penalty cases.
“You can see Chelsea are a threat despite their situation”.

“Yeah, I think it was obviously accidental”, he opined. It’s more hard for us than past year, but I think we are getting into a flow to win games. We cannot be happy but we can be proud of what we did today.
