Are Chelsea going to manage to lose a 3-0 lead? Just seconds after Juan Mata sent in another shot on target -- which David de Gea was able to handle easily this time -- Wayne Rooney went close for Manchester United. Less than a minute later, it was Rooney again, determined to make something of this match for the visitors, forcing a save from Petr Cech.
Chelsea vs. Manchester United, 2012 Premier League: Wayne Rooney Converts Second Penalty, 3-2 Chelsea
And of course Chelsea panicked. The first goal for United came from a Wayne Rooney penalty conversion, and so would the second. Danny Welbeck took a tumble in the area, tripping over the rather large boot of Blues defender Branislav Ivanovic. Howard Webb believed it to be a foul, blowing the whistle and pointing to the spot. Rooney stepped up again, with Cech diving to his right as Rooney put the shot low and to the left.
So a 3-2 scoreline, with what we were all hoping from this match: chaos, goals, and of course, a questionable penalty.
