United turned up the heat on Premier League leaders Liverpool
as they closed the gap at the top of the table
with a convincing win against Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Nemanja Vidic headed United in front in first half injury-time

Wayne Rooney then turned in Patrice Evra’s cross after 63 minutes

Berbatov rounded off the win by grabbing the third from close range
turning in Cristiano Ronaldo’s free-kick

Sir Alex Ferguson will regard the victory as the perfect response
to public taunts from Liverpool counterpart Benitez that United may be
“a little bit scared” at the sight of their great rivals at the Premier League summit.
