Damn, i gotta admit that it was lucky. Mikel's challenge was clearly a yellow, but apparently Mike Dein gave out 14 red cards in his last 20 games, so not much of a surprise. However that timing of the goal is very harsh on Chelsea, the referee was already going over his time when the corner started and then further more he left the play continue after the corner finished.
But its a good game so far, we are finally playing better than in any of the last 3 games, the players are actually making more risky and succesful passes. Yes, we haven't had that many chances, but even before the Mikel sending off, United troubled Cech on a number of occassions. And looking back at like the last 5-6 games with Chelsea, it would be them attacking and us defending usually, it hasn't been the case in this game. Some good signs, but if you think about it, 10 of the 11 players on the field are the guys that were starters last season, so they all know each other well, hence why we are playing so much better than usually.
