Chelsea v.s. Manchester United in English domestic action as well as other leagues.

Well for the big match of the day, Manchester United were one up at the half thanks to Wayne Rooney who, let it be said, should have been disciplined for his actions against James McCarthy of Wigan. Nonetheless, David Luiz struck Chelsea level in the 54th before Frank Lampard converted his penalty in the 80th minute. United finished with ten men on the field having had Nemanja Vidic sent off while David Luiz was lucky to stay on for Chelsea. Up north in Scotland, Hamilton played Hibernian in a match which the visitors were very good at winning. Akpo Sodje gave Hib's a first half lead with his 37th minute strike before Derek Riordan made it 2-0 in the 75th. Hamilton drew one back through Flavio Paixo but only in the fourth minute of stoppage time in the second half which obviously wasn't enough. In the other match between Inverness and Dundee United, Prince Bauben and David Robertson struck in the 75th and 90th minutes respectively to win the game 2-0 for the visitors from Dundee. Meanwhile, over in Iberia, Spain looked on as Espanyol were edged 1-2 by Mallorca as the visitors came from one down to win. Alvaro got Espanyol off on the right foot in the 19th minute but they lost their way as Pierre Webo and Emilio Nsue struck a goal a piece in the second half to switch control of the game. Finally, Sevilla's 3-0 victory over Sporting Gijon was a neat affair with Sevilla two ahead at the half. The sending off of Sebastian Eguren in the 26th got things off badly for Gijon and things only got worse: Luis Fabiano converted his 28th minute penalty while Diego Perotti struck in the 35th. Alvaro Negredo's 65th minute strike was the decider as Gijon's spirit was gone.
