VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Rooney scores as United crash at the Bridge

This was always going to be a hard game but to have lost is quite a sickener.

I can sit here and complain about how much of a bad job I think Atkinson did or the fact this is the third time in a row that we have got a rough deal against Chelsea but to an extent this was of our own doing.

We allowed Chelsea to get back into the game after the break and as soon as Scholes tired we found ourselves at their will as they pressed on.

Losing was bad but the fact Vidic will be out of Sunday’s game and Sir Alex has confirmed that Rio will also miss the game leaves us in somewhat of a perilous position.

No time to mope though have to look towards Sunday and how we will overcome Liverpool at Anfield.
