Manchester United 0 - 1 West Ham
You could be forgiven for believing that United are saving themselves for next Saturday's Cup Final! Ronaldo, Giggs, and Scholes, all started out on the subs bench. It is difficult to think, that did not play a part, in West Ham being in front at the interval. Carlos Tevez put 'his side' ahead, when he beat Wes Brown, and shot the ball through Van der Sar’s legs.
Although United started the game without a number of their more senior players, those who did line up were only denied by some stout West Ham defending. Alan Smith, Kieran Richardson, and John O' Shea, all had good chances. After about 58 minutes play, Sir Alex called up the cavalry for a rescue attempt. A period of non-stop attack ensued, but Curbishley's men defended desperately, and successfully. At the end thanks were due to the controversial Tevez situation that has served them so well, much to the chagrin of less fortunate adversaries.
On the day that Manchester United, officially, became the new champions of the Premier League, West Ham beat them to remain in the same league next season. It was a close run thing, and they can count themselves lucky in that as far as this match was concerned, United were already home, dry and unassailable at the top.
Chelsea Equal Record
Chelsea 1 - 1 Everton
Chelsea equalled Liverpool's long standing record, of 63 home league games without defeat, so who would dare to bet that they don't beat it next year?
Teenager James Vaughan put Everton ahead after 40 minutes. A cautious Didier Drogba levelled the score after 57 minutes.
You could not help thinking, that like Manchester United, Chelsea are also keeping the powder dry, for the fireworks at Wembley next Saturday. Let us hope there are no damp squibs!
