Formation: 4-3-3

Line-Up: David De Gea, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Jonny Evans, Fabio, Andre Ayew, Anderson, Nani, Javier Hernandez, Wayne Rooney, Yaya Sanogo

Manchester United came back from two goals down to win 4-2 and retain the League Cup trophy for the third times in a row.

Sunderland got the lead from Sebastian Larsson who pounced on the rebound with a half volley. Manchester United were in a complete mess when Sunderland got their second goal through Turner's penalty after Evans pushed Vela in the box.

Manchester United players began to regroup and they managed to pull one back when Javier Hernandez score with a left footed volley. It doesn't take long for Manchester United to equalise. Jones score with a header from Nani's corner. The score were level at half-time.

In the second-half, Manchester United did not waste time. Yaya Sanogo put Manchester United in front just 30 seconds from the start of the second-half. Jonny Evans who gave away the penalty in the first-half, rounded off their victory with a good header from just inside the six yard box.

A very good comeback from Manchester United players.

A good 4-2 win against Australia. Sergio Canales and Iker Muniain got their first debut while Jordi Alba scored his first International goal. After looking at these 2 goals that we conceded, it's clear to me that David De Gea is still not ready for his International duty and will be making some changes to the defence as well.

Hazard to the rescue


Premier League - Chelsea (A)

Formation: 4-3-3 (counter)

Line-Up: David De Gea, Cesar Azpilicueta, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidic, Fabio, Andre Ayew, Anderson, Eden Hazard, Javier Hernandez, Wayne Rooney, Yaya Sanogo
Subs Used: Rafael, Paul Pogba, Nani

10 men Man Utd survive a defeat after Hazard made an impact by scoring the equaliser in the dying minutes. Ashley Cole had a chance to score from a penalty spot but he put the ball wide. Chelsea finally got the lead through Felipe Caicedo header.

Man Utd hope of getting back into this game was dashed when Phil Jones received a red card for a professional foul minutes after second-half got underway. Man Utd began to regroup and they manage to snatch some chances but they just can't break the deadlock.

With time running out, Eden Hazard scores a placed shot to equalise for Man Utd. It all started when Nani placed a through ball to Hazard and cool as you like Hazard drive a low shot passed Petr Cech to put the ball into back of the net.

It was a disappointing performance by Man Utd players but at least they got 1 point tonight rather then nothing. Hoping for a response in the next match.
