Reading 1 - 2 Chelsea


Steve Coppell's luck seems to be the opposite of the recent big lottery winner. She won £35 million, but Steve drew Manchester United away, and Chelsea at home, so how unlucky can you get?


Reading did well to make a point at Old Trafford on Sunday, but were criticised in some quarters for defensive tactics. However, there was not much wrong with the way Hahnemann kept saving shots from United's star line up.


Coppell was intent to go one better at home, and started with two strikers, rather than one. It nearly paid off too, when after 30 minutes Reading went ahead. Substitute Bikey, replaced the injured Michael Duberry. He took up a key position in the penalty area to await Shorey’s free kick. What happened next was pure theatre, and ready made for Question of Sport, bring on Sue Barker! Petr Cech, alias the best goalkeeper in the world, came out to punch the ball away, but inexplicably missed by a mile, well a foot or two anyway! Bikey must have thought that Christmas had come early, and he slid the ball home, unopposed.


Three minutes later, Reading were at it again and should have scored, what might have been a winning goal, but Oster's shot hit the post. Mourhino looked stern, but never fear he was only thinking, and planning ways to retaliate.


Sure enough, after the interval, Jose sent on striker Pizarro for Ferreira, and Mikel for Sidwell. Chelsea were transformed, and with their daring 4-2-4 formation, stormed into the attack. Two minutes into the second half Chelsea were level, when Drogba flicked the ball on to Lampard, who powered forward and slid it home to level the score.


Three minutes later Drogba, put the boot in, with the sort of one-man show that terrifies opposition defences. He blasted in a twenty yard shot, which Hahnemann had no chance of saving. Reading lost all hope, when Cisse was dismissed for a second yellow card.


Chelsea played two - won two - that's the way to do it!
