Chelsea 2 Manchester United 3
United closed the gap on leaders Chelsea to one point after Javier Hernandez’s late goal secured a dramatic win over the nine-man European champions at Stamford Bridge.
David Luiz’s own goal and van Persie’s clinical finish gave United a two-goal lead early on, but Chelsea fought back superbly to level with goals from Juan Mata and Ramires either side of the interval.
However, red cards for Branislav Ivanovic and Fernando Torres swung the momentum back towards United, who stole the points thanks to Hernandez’s close-range winner in the 75th minute.
