The football Statistic behind the Man Utd vs Chelsea game.

Every Manchester United faithful would be glad to see the rout at old Trafford last Sunday, it was just a contest between two average teams and Chelsea got very unlucky. It happened very fast especially the second and third goals, I was not expecting it.
