CHELSEA COMES FROM BEHIND TO BEAT MAN-U

CAPITAL ONE CUP




Chelsea this evening in the Capital One Cup came from behing to beat Manchester United in Extra time 5-4 in a 9 goals thriller.

Just last nignt, Arsenal also rose from the dead to defeat Reading 7 - 5 also in the same championship.

The Capital One Cup is beginning to look like a goals delight for football fans.

Chelsea's attacking talents proved to be too much for a young Manchester United defence as they won 5-4 to book a place in the Capital One Cup's last eight.

Two defensive errors by Chelsea allowed Manchester United Ryan Giggs and Javier Hernandez scored either side of David Luiz's penalty.

Gar Cahill made it 2-2 and it appeared Nani's chipped finish would win it but Eden Hazard scored another spot kick.

Daniel Sturridge and Ramires both scored in extra-time before Giggs added a late consolation penalty.

Chelsea will be thankful to young United centre-back Scott wootton,who pushed Ramires to gift Chelsea their second penalty in injury time and then left his header back to Anders Lindegaard short as Sturridge finally found the net.

Tottenham lost away to Norwish 1-2

The ship according to a posting on the Dutch tech blog onemorething.nl, will be presented to Job's family, including his widow Laurene Powell Jobs and their three children Reed, Erin and Eve.

It is made entirely of aluminum and this helps with its speed.
