Chelsea FC looked sure to have their equalizer in the 40th minute of their game against Manchester United, but despite a couple of great chances in a matter of seconds, they have been denied. Edwin van der Sar produced a couple of great saves in that same matter of seconds, but if we’re being honest, Chelsea should be level.
Chelsea FC Vs. Manchester United: Somehow, Blues Avoid Scoring In 40th Minute
Frank Lampard created the opportunity with a terrific drive of a free kick from almost 30 yards out, forcing van der Sar into a sprawling save. Unfortunately for him, the ball fell to the feet of Branislav Ivanovic immediately after that save. It appeared that Ivanovic had a wide open goal to work with, but he somehow failed to put the ball into the back of the net. Maybe he thought it was too easy and hit the ball too casually, but in any event, van der Sar reached up and clawed the ball away while on his back, somehow denying Ivanovic the equalizer. The ball then bounced off a United defender before it was finally secured by van der Sar, completing his improbable triple save.
