Eto'o hat-trick eases Chelsea past hapless United

                   

                         

Chelsea remained in the hunt for the Premier League after a 3-1 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

United started brightly but the best chance they created was anAshley Young shot from a tight angle. They sent in plenty of crosses, but of such low quality it meant little.

Samuel Eto’o scored against the run of play after beating a static Phil Jones on the edge of his box, his shot looping off Michael Carrick’s ankle and over David de Gea. Shortly after, United should have had a penalty when Cesar Azpilicueta went through the back of Danny Welbeck.

Just before half-time, Eto’o got his second when he turned in Gary Cahill’s low cross when United failed to clear a corner.

Eto’o completed his hat-trick a few minutes after half-time, poking in his third after De Gea saved a Cahill header.

Despite a late Javier Hernandez goal, the game came to its inevitable conclusion, an easy Chelsea win. To make things worse for United,Nemanja Vidic saw red for a scything challenge on Eden Hazard and Rafael was lucky not so suffer a similar fate moments later.

UP YOU CHELSEA.
