Manchester Utd 1 Chelsea 1

Man Utd came quite close to opening their gap to six points at the top of the premiership today(26/11/2006).

It was a very exciting game to watch which and I think it would have had a few on the edge of their seats. I saw the highlights of the game on MOTD and from what I saw Man Utd had most of the ball and took a deserved lead through Saha.

Saha nicely placed a shot into the goal from about 20 yards out and left Cudicini with a very hard task who scrambled across the goal but could not make it in time. It seemed as if Terry and Calvalho took too much time to close him down as they stood motionless as Saha placed to ball past them and the keeper.

After this to me it looked like the 3 points were going Manchester uniteds way which would of opened the premiership gap to six points and left Chelsea with a very hard task to catch up. However from a poorly defended corner Calvalho managed to head in the equaliser and the game ended 1-1.

This game could have been a very significant outcome to who wins the premiership this year, but as they shared points in this game no team was able to gain points over the other.

I personally believe that Man Utd will go on to claim the title and at the moment to me they look the better team, but Chelsea have shown that they can be consistant over very long periods so it could be very close.
