Man Utd 2-0 Chelsea

BBC Sport Headline; says: 'Manchester United added to Chelsea woes by beating their rivals in Avram Grant's first game in charge of the Blues after Jose Mourinho's exit. Chelsea put in a resolute showing but had Mikel Jon Obi harshly sent off for a rash tackle on Patrice Evra.

United then went ahead after first-half injury-time had elapsed with a near-post Carlos Tevez header. Chelsea stubbornly kept the deficit to one goal until Louis Saha's spot-kick after a foul on him by Tal Ben Haim.

The Chelsea players had been firmly under the microscope at the start of the game after Mourinho's exit and came away with their pride intact after a battling display. They traded high-fives and hugs in a show of unity as they gathered together just before kick-off. If there was any fragility about the Blues' resolve, a professional United quickly tried to expose it as they took a stranglehold of the game. United striker Wayne Rooney cut inside Ben Haim on the edge of the box and curled a shot on the visitors goal which keeper Petr Cech finger-tipped wide at full-stretch.
