00:00In fact be a second double since United with Hughes up front finally ended their search for the championship title.
00:08It's special too for Andy Cole who surely is looking to carry on in the sort of form he showed
00:13on Wednesday night at Highbury
00:15when his performance must be rated as his best in a United shirt since he was bought to replace Mark
00:21Hughes at Old Trafford.
00:24The team news offers no surprises. Chelsea are unchanged for the third match running
00:30and that means that Gianluca Viali will continue to wait with impatience.
00:36United prefer Brian McClare to Karol Poborski and that's the only change from the team which won against Arsenal Highbury
00:43on Wednesday.
00:44Peter Schmeichel has been past fit.
00:48In gloves on what is a relatively mild afternoon.
00:51Newton. Newton. Wise. Upside against Procescu.
01:01Referee just had a word with Procescu from a distance.
01:10Roy Keane.
01:15Gary Neville. Keane. A little bit slow motion stuff.
01:20Di Matteo. Di Matteo. Di Gianfranco Zola.
01:23To Mark Hughes.
01:26Not allowed to come inside.
01:29Newton. Wise.
01:36Piotrescu.
01:37Only Hughes in the box.
01:39This is Zola.
01:41Oh, Irwin committed himself.
01:43Oh, Irwin committed himself.
01:43So, Le Steele.
01:44Scores.
01:50Brilliantly taken.
01:53But absurdly given away.
01:59Well, I think he had his poorest game last Sunday at Leicester in a Chelsea shirt.
02:05But Irwin went in for the challenge.
02:08The ball was spirited away.
02:10And Schmeichel was beaten on his near post comprehensively.
02:16Really good play by a superbly balanced player.
02:21The number of United players who were flat-footed then was Legion.
02:26LaBeouf.
02:29Hughes.
02:30Two Italians out with him.
02:33Di Matteo trying to play it through.
02:35Straight away.
02:36Oh, dear.
02:37Not the best of challenges by Keane.
02:38But not as bad as it looked.
02:40Or is it...
02:41Referee's had enough.
02:42That's a yellow card for Roy Keane.
02:49That one seemed to me to be rather over-eager.
02:53And it produces the card.
02:58Never any danger of making contact with Hughes.
03:01But even so, it was wild.
03:07Interesting deflection.
03:09Goal kick.
03:09Lovely pass by Wise.
03:12Determination here by Zola.
03:13Zola to dig it up.
03:15Di Matteo.
03:18Hounded by Keane.
03:21Overzealously in the end.
03:23He and Erwin together.
03:25I would have thought that was offside.
03:27But it's a very good claim anyway.
03:28By Grodos.
03:32Seemed to me there was a moment then when Solskjaer was offside.
03:36The discontent among the Manchester United ranks was shared by their manager.
03:40Who, it is reported, was less than complimentary to the referee at half-time.
03:43Becker on the right.
03:46Giggs down the middle.
03:47Cole far side.
03:48Solskjaer, number 20.
03:52Cut out by Leboeuf.
03:54Really good clearance.
03:55He got round the wall.
04:00Quick kick that's been given against Clarke.
04:03Referee delayed to see if Giggs would get possession.
04:12Beckham or Giggs to take five in the box for Manchester United.
04:17Pallister's one of them.
04:19And the header was by Jonsson.
04:31Sinclair who completely missed it.
04:35Solskjaer.
04:36Giggs.
04:37Got pulled a bit by Wise.
04:40That went through.
04:40Di Matteo.
04:42Di Matteo.
04:45Keane.
04:47Irwin.
04:49Good cover for Trescu.
04:55United corner.
04:59Contest.
05:01But not there yet.
05:03Clarke.
05:06Cole.
05:08Leboeuf.
05:10Well taken by Neville.
05:12Four to his left.
05:14Well up Sinclair but not well away.
05:16Beckham.
05:18Not really been in the match David Beckham.
05:21Try though he certainly has.
05:23But he's found the equaliser.
05:27Courtesy of the break by Neville.
05:30Chelsea will put it down.
05:32Defensive failing.
05:33The ball wasn't cleared.
05:38Good ball in by Neville.
05:40And Sinclair's header met on the full.
05:43And volleyed with venom.
05:45By David Beckham.
05:48He was just up.
05:49Not really away.
05:50And Beckham underneath it.
05:51Had no doubt he would volley it.
05:53And the sheer pace of the ball.
05:56Got past the goalkeeper.
05:58Adam.
06:01Now it's United.
06:02They seem to have the extra men.
06:04And not a bad strike by Brian McClare.
06:10And the substitution.
06:12And today of the conclusion of Wednesday night's match at Highbury.
06:17Ultimately failing to satisfy the neutral.
06:19And a 1-1 draw is the final result.
06:23Chelsea won.
06:23been there for service. You know. You
06:23know. Yes.
06:24Yes.
