00:00Antonis' first big match away from Old Trafford since his career almost ran aground at Crystal Palace last January
00:05and his every move and mood will be monitored by the camera lens
00:10and by a very committed crowd inside Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
00:14He knows what to expect.
00:16So does Mark Hughes, 13 years a Manchester United player,
00:20today a Manchester United opponent for the first time.
00:23There's a test of temperaments ahead for both of them.
00:26Hughes has had three different strike partners already in his short Chelsea career.
00:30Today it's Paul Furlong with John Spencer back from injury on the bench.
00:34Back from injury in the team, Steve Clarke and Frank Sinclair.
00:37New signing Dan Petrescu is waiting for a work permit renewal.
00:42Catenaar partners Andy Cole for only the fifth time since Cole signed for United in January.
00:47It's good news all round on the injury front.
00:49Dennis Irwin is fit to return. Roy Keane is fit to continue.
00:53Someone in referees' appointments has a sense of humour.
00:57Alan de Wilkie was the man in charge at Selhurst Park when Cantona jumped into the headlines again after being sent off.
01:03And Eddie Walsh was the linesman on that far touchline that night.
01:07Let's hope for a quiet reunion today.
01:09Last Saturday, Chelsea became the first team this season to win at Aston Villa.
01:17Before that, the first team to beat Arsenal.
01:20Today their mission is to inflict Manchester United's first Premiership defeat since the opening day of the season.
01:28The importance of the game has been almost a side issue during the build-up.
01:32Peacock turning and running out of play.
01:42Chelsea trail United by five points at the start of play.
01:45Chelsea trail United by five points at the start of play.
02:15It's in!
02:18And for all the hoo-ha about Cantona and Hughes, it's Manchester United's leading goalscorer, 20-year-old Paul Scholes, who struck after just three minutes.
02:30Cantona had some kind of part in it, although I'm not sure he got a touch.
02:35Karin got a touch, but couldn't keep it out.
02:37And Paul Scholes has now scored seven times in his last seven matches for the club.
02:49Karin, who I think will be a little disappointed with his part in that goal.
02:52He got a full palm on the ball, but he couldn't stop it going in.
03:00Hollett.
03:03Towards Furlong, Bruce has lost it.
03:04And the header is wide at the mark.
03:09Schmeichel committed.
03:11But what completely bamboozled both Schmeichel and Bruce then was the accuracy of Rootholland's pass.
03:18Keane.
03:22Erwin.
03:22It's been a very short start by Manchester United.
03:46Cantona to Butt.
03:47Giggs.
03:50Keane.
03:54Erwin.
03:55Good well, it's a sharp pass from Giggs.
04:02Chelsea can't get the ball at the moment.
04:04Cantona.
04:05Scholes is onside.
04:06He's got Cole and Giggs in support.
04:09Paul Scholes.
04:10It's two.
04:12What a fantastic start for Manchester United and for Paul Scholes.
04:15He's scored twice inside the opening ten minutes.
04:20And Chelsea were just pulled apart then by the movement and the accuracy of Manchester United's passing.
04:28Embarrassment of riches.
04:29He had men in support, but Scholes at the moment has eye only for goals.
04:33Karine who couldn't keep out the first despite getting a full palm to it.
04:43Beaten at the near post by the second, but he was aware of the men in support.
04:49Giggs is well in from Clarke.
04:51Hullet's there.
04:51Away from Giggs.
05:00Hullet's.
05:04Far away from a hat-trick.
05:08Explosive start to the second half from Paul Scholes.
05:11Just as he gave us a dynamic start to the first.
05:17Within a minute of the restart.
05:22Coming up nine years in the job now, Alex Ferguson.
05:24All the two fingers were being pointed during the summer.
05:29Headline departures like this man.
05:30He was just unable to get Furlong in behind Manchester United.
05:38It's Hullet.
05:40Well-held, Schmeichel.
05:43If it had bounced off the goalkeeper, Hughes was loitering with intent.
05:53Newton.
05:54Spencer.
05:57Now Key.
05:58Gex.
06:05But.
06:06Cantona.
06:08Hulls offside.
06:08But.
06:28Newton.
06:36Newton.
06:36Away by Neville.
06:40Myers.
06:47But got his foot in.
06:49This is Sinclair.
06:49And now Spencer.
06:52Furlong down.
06:54Mark Hughes.
06:54Yes.
06:55Wouldn't you just know it.
07:02A Mark Hughes goal against Manchester United.
07:05Has it come in time for Chelsea though?
07:10Hughes on the volley from Furlong's knockdown.
07:12Revives the home team's interest in proceedings.
07:19It's the fourth consecutive home game here that Hughes has scored in the Premiership.
07:24Oh, he's got past Clarke.
07:31It's in.
07:35Memorable goal from Ryan Giggs.
07:37And surely that's the one which decides an excellent game.
07:44They'll be untying the knots in Steve Clarke in the dressing room after the game.
07:48But what a finish.
07:49Just nuts with the outside of his left foot.
07:53Earlier than Kyrene might have expected him to hit it.
07:56And hit with a bit of bend.
07:57Enough just to guide it inside the post.
08:01Marvellous goal by Giggs.
08:02He really looks back to his best.
08:05Brian McLear there on in the foreground.
08:08Has replaced Paul Scholes.
08:10Who scored the first two goals.
08:12But now Manchester United have another.
08:14Ryan Giggs' third of the season.
08:17Perfect for Cole.
08:19And now Giggs looking for his second.
08:21And Kyrene sees to it.
08:22He doesn't get it.
08:24What a pass from Cantona, though.
08:27Andy Cole is just a little bit out of sorts at the moment.
08:30But if that kind of service continues from Cantona,
08:32and they've played so little together, he'll get goals.
08:36It's a four.
08:37Only three defenders back.
08:38Now Cantona.
08:40Now Cole.
08:41Now McLear.
08:43Four.
08:46Another tremendous Manchester United goal.
08:49It's a stylish win, and they're rounding it off in style.
08:54The ball ferried beautifully into the path of Brian McLear.
09:01He got the winning goal in this fixture last season when it was a little bit tighter than this.
09:064-1 for Manchester United.
09:09He's made it now.
09:12Their most celebrated winners, Mark Hughes included, may be gone.
09:16But Manchester United still have a winning combination.
09:20Some of that combination play on the back of that racing style that Paul Sculls gave them today was breathtaking.
09:26When Chelsea, when Chelsea spirited, fought their way back, Manchester United killed them off on the break.
09:32It's Chelsea's first home defeat of the Premiership season.
09:35Nobody's defeated Manchester United home or away since the opening day of the Premiership season.
09:40It was a win.
09:40I believe that was a win.
09:41Absolutely.
09:42It was a win.
09:42Yeah.
09:43No, it was a win.
09:43No, I think I decided to win it.
09:44I think we are starting for now.
09:45No, that's really nice.
09:45I think it was awesome.
09:46No, that's really fun.
09:46But we didn't catch them.
09:46No, I'm of eight.
09:47Not going away from that idea.
09:47So, I think we mentioned this would be an� because, I think, there are enough people have beencido down for this...
