A Bridge too far

Manchester United left Stamford Bridge empty-handed this morning after Samuel Eto'o's hat-trick had put Chelsea three goals ahead just four minutes into the second half. Substitute Javier Hernandez pulled one back with 12 minutes remaining, but a bad day for United was complete when, as well as receiving three of the four yellow cards shown, captain Nemanja Vidic was shown a straight red card late on following a lunge on Eden Hazard. The Reds dominated the opening passages of play and could have been ahead when Ashley Young, playing on the left after a spell out with injury, forced goalkeeper Petr Cech into a low save. But United were unlucky in conceding the first goal, when Eto'o eluded Phil Jones to cut in from the right and shot goalwards, the ball hitting Michael Carrick's foot to loop up and over the stranded David De Gea. This is why David Moyes needs to get it together. There is no way under the current management that Man United will bounce back from their current position to win this season's Premiership.
