#5 Chelsea vs Manchester United (3-3)

Hernandez scored the equaliser in the latter stages of the match to help United earn a point

The first half of the game turned out to be a nightmare for the Red Devils, with what started as an own goal from Johny Evans was followed by former Chelsea player Juan Mata’s volley just 24 seconds after the beginning of the second half. A header from the Brazillian David Luiz gave Chelsea a three-goal lead against the Red Devils in the Stamford Bridge. 

What was supposed to turn out as a nightmare for Man United, was revived by two penalties from Howard Webb, both of which were converted by Wayne Rooney. The manager brought in Javier Hernandez in place of Ashley Young and Hernandez did what he does best. He scored a goal in the final minutes of the game to equalise the scores and earn United a hard-fought point.
